The EFI capsule mechanism allows data blobs to be passed to the EFI firmware. A common use case is performing firmware updates. This patch just introduces the main infrastructure for interacting with the firmware, and a driver that allows users to upload capsules will come in a later patch. Once a capsule has been passed to the firmware, the next reboot must be performed using the ResetSystem() EFI runtime service, which may involve overriding the reboot type specified by reboot=. This ensures the reset value returned by QueryCapsuleCapabilities() is used to reset the system, which is required for the capsule to be processed. efi_capsule_pending() is provided for this purpose. At the moment we only allow a single capsule blob to be sent to the firmware despite the fact that UpdateCapsule() takes a 'CapsuleCount' parameter. This simplifies the API and shouldn't result in any downside since it is still possible to send multiple capsules by repeatedly calling UpdateCapsule().
