Ard Biesheuvel 732ea9db9d efi: libstub: Move screen_info handling to common code
Currently, arm64, RISC-V and LoongArch rely on the fact that struct
screen_info can be accessed directly, due to the fact that the EFI stub
and the core kernel are part of the same image. This will change after a
future patch, so let's ensure that the screen_info handling is able to
deal with this, by adopting the arm32 approach of passing it as a
configuration table. While at it, switch to ACPI reclaim memory to hold
the screen_info data, which is more appropriate for this kind of
allocation.

/*
* There are two ways of populating the core kernel's struct screen_info via the stub:
* - using a configuration table, like below, which relies on the EFI init code
* to locate the table and copy the contents;
* - by linking directly to the core kernel's copy of the global symbol.
*
* The latter is preferred because it makes the EFIFB earlycon available very
* early, but it only works if the EFI stub is part of the core kernel image
* itself. The zboot decompressor can only use the configuration table
* approach.
*
* In order to support both methods from the same build of the EFI stub
* library, provide this dummy global definition of struct screen_info. If it
* is required to satisfy a link dependency, it means we need to override the
* __weak alloc and free methods with the ones below, and those will be pulled
* in as well.
