There is nothing x86-specific in initrd.c, and a variant of the
reshuffling logic will be required for executing bare-metal kernels on
RISC-V and AArch64.

Current RISC-V and AArch64 kernels found in the wild tend not to be in
the documented kernel format, but are instead "EFI zboot" kernels
comprising a small EFI executable that decompresses and executes the
inner payload (which is a kernel in the expected format).
The EFI zboot header includes a recognisable magic value "zimg" along
with two fields describing the offset and length of the compressed
payload. We can therefore treat this as an archive image format,
extracting the payload as-is and then relying on our existing ability
to execute compressed images.
This is sufficient to allow iPXE to execute the Fedora 42 RISC-V
kernel binary as currently published.

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.

The size of accessible physical address space will be required for the
runtime memory map, not just at relocation time. Make this size an
additional parameter to fdt_register() (matching the prototype for
fdt_relocate()), and record the value for future reference.
Note that we cannot simply store the limit in fdt_relocate() since it
is called before .data is writable and before .bss is zeroed.

We do not currently describe the temporary page table or the temporary
stack as areas to be avoided during relocation of the iPXE image to a
new physical address.
Perform the copy of the iPXE image and zeroing of the .bss within
libprefix.S, after we have no futher use for the temporary page table
or the temporary initial stack. Perform the copy and registration of
the system device tree in C code after relocation is complete and the
new stack (within .bss) has been set up.
This provides a clean separation of responsibilities between the
RISC-V libprefix.S and the architecture-independent fdtmem.c. The
prefix is responsible only for relocating iPXE to the new physical
address returned from fdtmem_relocate(), and doesn't need to know or
care where fdtmem.c is planning to place the copy of the device tree.

Add code to parse the devicetree memory nodes, memory reservations
block, and reserved memory nodes to construct an ordered and
non-overlapping description of the system memory map, and use this to
identify a suitable address to which iPXE may be relocated at runtime.
We choose to place iPXE on a superpage boundary (as required by the
paging code), and to use the highest available address within
accessible memory. This mirrors the approach taken for x86 BIOS
builds, where we have long assumed that any image format that we might
need to support may require specific fixed addresses towards the
bottom of the memory map, but is very unlikely to require specific
fixed addresses towards the top of the memory map (since those
addresses may not exist, depending on the amount of installed RAM).

iPXE does not make use of any thread-local storage. Use the otherwise
unused thread pointer register ("tp") to hold the current value of
the virtual address offset, rather than using a global variable.
This ensures that virt_offset can be made valid even during very early
initialisation (when iPXE may be executing directly from read-only
memory and so cannot update a global variable).

In a position-dependent executable, where all addresses are fixed
at link time, we can use the standard technique as documented by
GNU ld to get the value of an absolute symbol, e.g.:
extern char _my_symbol[];
printf ( "Absolute symbol value is %x\n", ( ( int ) _my_symbol ) );
This technique may not work in a position-independent executable.
When dynamic relocations are applied, the runtime addresses will no
longer be equal to the link-time addresses. If the code to obtain the
address of _my_symbol uses PC-relative addressing, then it will
calculate the runtime "address" of the absolute symbol, which will no
longer be equal the the link-time "address" (i.e. the correct value)
of the absolute symbol.
Define macros ABS_SYMBOL(), ABS_VALUE_INIT(), and ABS_VALUE() that
provide access to the correct values of absolute symbols even in
position-independent code, and use these macros wherever absolute
symbols are accessed.

The virtual offset memory model used for i386-pcbios and x86_64-pcbios
can be generalised to also cover riscv32-sbi and riscv64-sbi. In both
architectures, the 32-bit builds will use a circular map of the 32-bit
address space, and the 64-bit builds will use an identity map for the
relevant portion of the physical address space, with iPXE itself
placed in the negative (kernel) address space.
Generalise and document the virt_offset mechanism, and set it as the
default for both PCBIOS and SBI platforms.

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

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().
