Subject: [PATCH 20/40] arm64/efi: libstub: Make screen_info accessible to the UEFI stub

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@...aro.org>

Unlike on 32-bit ARM, where we need to pass the stub's version of struct
screen_info to the kernel proper via a configuration table, on 64-bit ARM
it simply involves making the core kernel's copy of struct screen_info
visible to the stub by exposing an __efistub_ alias for it.
