i386/linux: Add support for ext_lfb_base

Browse source 
The EFI Graphics Output Protocol can return a 64-bit
linear frame buffer address in some firmware/BIOS
implementations. We currently only store the lower
32-bits in the lfb_base. This will eventually be
passed to Linux kernel and the efifb driver will
incorrectly interpret the framebuffer address as
32-bit address.

The Linux kernel has already added support to handle
64-bit linear framebuffer address in the efifb driver
since quite some time now.

This patch adds the support for 64-bit linear frame
buffer address in GRUB to address the above mentioned
scenario.
