On 32-bit ARM, we may boot at HYP mode, or with the MMU and caches off
(or both), even though the EFI spec does not actually support this.
While booting at HYP mode is something we might tolerate, fiddling
with the caches is a more serious issue, as disabling the caches is
tricky to do safely from C code, and running without the Dcache makes
it impossible to support unaligned memory accesses, which is another
explicit requirement imposed by the EFI spec.
So take note of the CPU mode and MMU state in the EFI stub diagnostic
output so that we can easily diagnose any issues that may arise from
this. E.g.,
EFI stub: Entering in SVC mode with MMU enabled
Also, capture the CPSR and SCTLR system register values at EFI stub
entry, and after ExitBootServices() returns, and check whether the
MMU and Dcache were disabled at any point. If this is the case, a
diagnostic message like the following will be emitted:
efi: [Firmware Bug]: EFI stub was entered with MMU and Dcache disabled, please fix your firmware!
efi: CPSR at EFI stub entry : 0x600001d3
efi: SCTLR at EFI stub entry : 0x00c51838
efi: CPSR after ExitBootServices() : 0x600001d3
efi: SCTLR after ExitBootServices(): 0x00c50838

Fix a missing prototype warning by adding a forward declaration
for the PE/COFF entrypoint, and while at it, align the function
name between the x86 and ARM versions of the stub.

Now that we removed the memory limit for the allocation of the
command line, there is no longer a need to use the page based
allocator so switch to a pool allocation instead.

The practice of using __pure getter functions to access global
variables in the EFI stub dates back to the time when we had to
carefully prevent GOT entries from being emitted, because we
could not rely on the toolchain to do this for us.
Today, we use the hidden visibility pragma for all EFI stub source
files, which now all live in the same subdirectory, and we apply a
sanity check on the objects, so we can get rid of these getter
functions and simply refer to global data objects directly.
So switch over the remaining boolean variables carrying options set
on the kernel command line.

Start with efi_system_table(), and convert it into a global variable.
While at it, make it a pointer-to-const, because we can.
