The RISC-V and AArch64 bare-metal kernel images share a common header
format, and require essentially the same execution environment: loaded
close to the start of RAM, entered with paging disabled, and passed a
pointer to a flattened device tree that describes the hardware and any
boot arguments.
Implement basic support for executing bare-metal RISC-V and AArch64
kernel images. The (trivial) AArch64-specific code path is untested
since we do not yet have the ability to build for any bare-metal
AArch64 platforms. Constructing and passing an initramfs image is not
yet supported.
Rename the IMAGE_BZIMAGE build configuration option to IMAGE_LKRN,
since "bzImage" is specific to x86. To retain backwards compatibility
with existing local build configurations, we leave IMAGE_BZIMAGE as
the enabled option in config/default/pcbios.h and treat IMAGE_LKRN as
a synonym for IMAGE_BZIMAGE when building for x86 BIOS.

Add basic support for running directly on top of SBI, with no UEFI
firmware present. Build as e.g.:
make CROSS=riscv64-linux-gnu- bin-riscv64/ipxe.sbi
The resulting binary can be tested in QEMU using e.g.:
qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -cpu max -serial stdio \
-kernel bin-riscv64/ipxe.sbi
No drivers or executable binary formats are supported yet, but the
unit test suite may be run successfully.
