RISC-V has a millicode calling convention that allows for the use of
an alternative link register x5/t0. With sufficient care, this allows
for two levels of subroutine call even when no stack is available.
Provide both standard and millicode entry points for print_message(),
and use the millicode entry point to allow for printing debug messages
from libprefix.S itself.

The GNU assembler does not seem to automatically assume alignment to
an instruction boundary for sections containing assembled code.
Place the prefix debug strings (if present) in .rodata rather than in
.prefix, to avoid potentially creating misaligned code sections.

Define a new "ZREL" compressor information block, describing a block
of Elf_Rel or Elf_Rela runtime relocations to be converted to an
iPXE-specific compressed relocation format.
The compressed relocation format is based loosely on the Elf_Relr
bitmap+offset format, with some optimisations for use in iPXE. In
particular:
- a relative "skip" value is used instead of an absolute offset
- the width of the skip value is reduced to 19 bits (when present)
- an explicit skip value of zero is used to terminate the list
- unaligned relocations are prohibited
The layout of bits within the compressed relocation record is also
adjusted to make assembly code implementations simpler: the skip flag
bit is placed in the MSB so that it can be tested using "bltz" or
similar instructions, and the skip value is placed above the
relocation flag bits so that a typical shifting implementation will
naturally end up with a zero value in its accumulator if and only if
the record was a terminator.

Add code to construct a 32-bit page table to map the whole of the
32-bit address space with a fixed offset selected to map iPXE itself

program counter updated to a virtual address.

Paging provides an alternative to using relocations: instead of
applying relocation fixups to the runtime addresses, we can set up
virtual addressing so that the runtime addresses match the link-time
addresses.
This opens up the possibility of running portions of iPXE directly
from read-only memory (such as a memory-mapped flash device), subject
to the caveats that .data is not yet writable and .bss is not yet
zeroed. This should allow us to run enough code to parse the memory
map from the FDT, identify a suitable RAM block, and physically
relocate ourselves there.
Add code to construct a 64-bit page table (in a single 4kB buffer) to
identity-map as much of the physical address space as possible, to map
iPXE itself at its link-time address, and to return with paging
enabled and the program counter updated to a virtual address. We use
the highest paging level supported by the CPU, to maximise the amount
of the physical address space covered by the identity map.

Using paging (rather than relocation records) will be easier on 64-bit
RISC-V if we place iPXE within the negative (kernel) virtual address
space.
Allow the link-time address to be non-zero and to vary between 32-bit
and 64-bit builds. Choose addresses that are expected to be amenable
to the use of paging.
There is no particular need to use a non-zero address in the 32-bit
builds, but doing so allows us to validate that the relocation code is
handling this case correctly.

Split out the runtime relocation logic from sbiprefix.S to a new
library libprefix.S.
Since this logically decouples the process of runtime relocation from
the _sbi_start symbol (currently used to determine the base address
for applying relocations), provide an alternative mechanism for the
relocator to determine the base address.

Almost all image consumers do not need to modify the content of the
image. Now that the image data is a pointer type (rather than the
opaque userptr_t type), we can rely on the compiler to enforce this at
build time.
Change the .data field to be a const pointer, so that the compiler can
verify that image consumers do not modify the image content. Provide
a transparent .rwdata field for consumers who have a legitimate (and
now explicit) reason to modify the image content.
We do not attempt to impose any runtime restriction on checking
whether or not an image is writable. The only existing instances of
genuinely read-only images are the various unit test images, and it is
acceptable for defective test cases to result in a segfault rather
than a runtime error.

Not all images are allocated via alloc_image(). For example: embedded
images, the static images created to hold a runtime command line, and
the images used by unit tests are all static structures.
Using image_set_cmdline() (via e.g. the "imgargs" command) to set the
command-line arguments of a static image will succeed but will leak
memory, since nothing will ever free the allocated command line.
There are no code paths that can lead to calling image_set_len() on a
static image, but there is no safety check against future code paths
attempting this.
Define a flag IMAGE_STATIC to mark an image as statically allocated,
generalise free_image() to also handle freeing dynamically allocated
portions of static images (such as the command line), and expose
free_image() for use by static images.
Define a related flag IMAGE_STATIC_NAME to mark the name as statically
allocated. Allow a statically allocated name to be replaced with a
dynamically allocated name since this is a potentially valid use case
(e.g. if "imgdecrypt --name <name>" is used on an embedded image).

Since all data transfer buffer contents are now accessible via direct
pointer dereferences, remove the unnecessary abstractions for read and
write operations and create two new data transfer buffer types: a
fixed-size buffer, and a void buffer that records its size but can
never receive non-zero lengths of data. These replace the custom data
buffer types currently implemented for EFI PXE TFTP downloads and for
block device translations.
A new operation xferbuf_detach() is required to take ownership of the
data accumulated in the data transfer buffer, since we no longer rely
on the existence of an independently owned external data pointer for
data transfer buffers allocated via umalloc().

Commit ef03849 ("[uaccess] Remove redundant userptr_add() and
userptr_diff()") exposed a signedness bug in the comparison of initrd
locations, since the expression (initrd->data - current) was
effectively no longer coerced to a signed type.
In particular, the common case will be that the top of the initrd
region is the start of the iPXE .textdata region, which has virtual
address zero. This causes initrd->data to compare as being above the
top of the initrd region for all images, when this bug would
previously have been limited to affecting only initrds placed 2GB or
more below the start of .textdata.
Fix by using physical addresses for all comparisons on initrd
locations.
