d1c1e578af [riscv] Add a .pf32 build target for padded parallel flash images
QEMU's -pflash option requires an image that has been padded to the
exact expected size (32MB for all of the supported RISC-V virtual
machines).

Add a .pf32 build target which is simply the equivalent .sbi target
padded to 32MB in size, to simplify testing.

8e38af800b [riscv] Add a .lkrn build target resembling a Linux kernel binary
On x86 BIOS, it has been useful to be able to build iPXE to resemble a
Linux kernel, so that it can be loaded by programs such as syslinux
which already know how to handle Linux kernel binaries.

Add an equivalent .lkrn build target for RISC-V SBI, allowing for
build targets such as:

  make bin-riscv64/ipxe.lkrn

  make bin-riscv64/cgem.lkrn

The Linux kernel header format allows us to specify a required length
(including uninitialised-data portions) and defines that the image
will be loaded at a fixed offset from the start of RAM.  We can
therefore use known-safe areas of memory (within our own .bss) for the
initial temporary page table and stack.

4bef4c8069 [riscv] Use compressed relocation records
Use compressed relocation records instead of raw Elf_Rela records.
This saves around 15% of the total binary size for the all-drivers
image bin-riscv64/ipxe.sbi.

e0e102ee24 [sbi] Add support for running as a RISC-V SBI payload
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.
