Subject: [PATCH v4 0/5] x86: efi: cleanups and basic 32/64 bit support

Here's the second version of the refactored series of cleanups with the
32/64-bit enablement at the end (v4 for the patch in total).

I've revised patches based on review comments, change lists for each is
in the patches in question.

As Matthew pointed out: For mixed 32/64 operation on a traditional EFI
system, there are more pieces needed to deal with variables being passed
in, etc. It's not the case on Chrome OS due to a custom kernel boot
wrapper that sets up kernel boot args, etc. Still, this is a good step
on the way even for said traditional setups.

(I've labelled all patches as v4 even though some have only been posted
once and maybe not even changed to keep the series in sync)
