Fixed loading of ACPI tables on EFI (side effect was apparent memory
corruption ranging from unpredictable behavior to system reset).
Reported by Nando Eva <nando4eva@ymail.com>
iPXE adds Simple File System Protocol to loaded image handle, as side
effect it also adds Block IO protocol (according to comments, to work
around some bugs in EDK2). GRUB assumes that every device with Block IO
is disk and skips network initialization entirely. But iPXE Block IO
implementation is just a stub which always fails for every operation
so cannot be used. Attempt to detect and skip such devices.
We are using media ID which iPXE sets to "iPXE" and block IO size in
hope that no real device would announce 1B block ...

1. Make sure files are not multiple of block size. This will ensure tail packing
for squash4 and may also trigger more codes paths in other filesystems.
2. Call mksquashfs with -always-use-fragments to force tail packing.
UEFI 2.6 9.3.6.4 File Path Media Device Path says that Path Name is
"A NULL-terminated Path string including directory and file names".
Strip final NULL from Path Name in each File Path node when constructing
full path. To be on safe side, strip all of them.
Fixes failure chainloading grub from grub, when loaded grub truncates
image path and does not find its grub.cfg.

This was triggered by commit ce95549cc54b5d6f494608a7c390dba3aab4fba7;
before it we built Path Name without trailing NULL, and apparently all
other bootloaders use single File Path node, thus not exposing this bug.
1. Do not assume block list and fragment are mutually exclusive. Squash
can pack file tail as fragment (unless -no-fragments is specified); so
check read offset and read either from block list or from fragments as
appropriate.
2. Support sparse files with zero blocks.
3. Fix fragment read - frag.offset is absolute fragment position,
not offset relative to ino.chunk.

In case of GRUB we put remapper after domain pages and not at 0x0.
In this case we use max_addr to put remapper. Unfortunately we increment
max_addr as well in this case resulting in virt mapping mapping page
at old max_addr and trying to boot using new max_addr.
Closes 46014.
The current documentation for the special environment variable
"default" is confusing and unclear. This patch attempts to clean it
up.
In particular, the current documentation refers to the "number or
title", but then in the example it gives, the menu entries and
submenus all have numbers *in* their title; furthermore, there is no
example given about how to choose the number, or any indication about
whether counting is zero-indexed or 1-indexed.
Having a cleaner example and presenting all variants (numeric, title,
and id) should make it clearer to the user.

Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Specification, Version 2.6,
section 2.3.4, x64 Platforms, boot services, says among others:
The stack must be 16-byte aligned. So, do it. Otherwise OS may
boot only by chance as it happens right now.

According to EABI only STT_FUNC has convention of lowest bit indicating
execution mode. R_THM_{JUMP,CALL}* relocations are assumed to be pointing
to thumb mode unless they use STT_FUNC.
We need -static as otherwise linker will set interpreter field and ld.so
is not available on our initrd's.
Strip all sections we don't need on binary tests.
If ascent is bigger than height - 2, then we draw over character box but then
to clear cursor we only draw over character box. So trim ascent if necessarry.
We don't use lgcc_s but missing lgcc_s or another library cause test to fail.
So use -nostdlib.
We need to use -Werror to avoid warning-generated case to be accepted.
Clang uses -nopie rather than -no-pie. Check both and use whichever one works.
Additionally android clang passes -pie to the linker even though it doesn't
define __PIE__. So if compilation without no-pie logic fails add -nopie/-no-pie
even if __PIE__ is not defined.
clang 3.8 and later doesn't support -mllvm -use-arm-movt=0
whereas older clang doesn't know -mno-movt. So use
-mno-movt whenever possible and fallback to mllvm variant.
