This patch adds support for bundling the xen.efi hypervisor, the xen.cfg
configuration file, the Linux kernel and initrd, as well as the XSM,
and architectural specific files into a single "unified" EFI executable.
This allows an administrator to update the components independently
without requiring rebuilding xen, as well as to replace the components
in an existing image.
The resulting EFI executable can be invoked directly from the UEFI Boot
Manager, removing the need to use a separate loader like grub as well
as removing dependencies on local filesystem access. And since it is
a single file, it can be signed and validated by UEFI Secure Boot without
requring the shim protocol.
It is inspired by systemd-boot's unified kernel technique and borrows the
function to locate PE sections from systemd's LGPL'ed code. During EFI
boot, Xen looks at its own loaded image to locate the PE sections for
the Xen configuration (`.config`), dom0 kernel (`.kernel`), dom0 initrd
(`.ramdisk`), and XSM config (`.xsm`), which are included after building
xen.efi using objcopy to add named sections for each input file.
For x86, the CPU ucode can be included in a section named `.ucode`,
which is loaded in the efi_arch_cfg_file_late() stage of the boot process.
On ARM systems the Device Tree can be included in a section named
`.dtb`, which is loaded during the efi_arch_cfg_file_early() stage of
the boot process.
Note that the system will fall back to loading files from disk if
the named sections do not exist. This allows distributions to continue
with the status quo if they want a signed kernel + config, while still
allowing a user provided initrd (which is how the shim protocol currently
works as well).
This patch also adds constness to the section parameter of
efi_arch_cfg_file_early() and efi_arch_cfg_file_late(),
changes pe_find_section() to use a const CHAR16 section name,
and adds pe_name_compare() to match section names.

Currently the force option is not implemented and a non-forced block-detach

option and also stops auto-forcing a non-forced block-detach by calling
libxl_device_disk_safe_remove() rather than libxl_device_disk_remove(),

Because of that all the structures would have a different size between

For all the other architectures supported (Arm and 64-bit x86), the
structure have the sames sizes because they contain implicit padding
thanks to the 64-bit alignment of the field uint64_t field.
Given the specification is authoritative, the padding will now be the

In Credit2 CPUs (can) share runqueues, depending on the topology. For
instance, with per-socket runqueues (the default) all the CPUs that are
part of the same socket share a runqueue.
On platform with a huge number of CPUs per socket, that could be a
problem. An example is AMD EPYC2 servers, where we can have up to 128
CPUs in a socket.
It is of course possible to define other, still topology-based, runqueue
arrangements (e.g., per-LLC, per-DIE, etc). But that may still result in
runqueues with too many CPUs on other/future platforms. For instance, a
system with 96 CPUs and 2 NUMA nodes will end up having 48 CPUs per
runqueue. Not as bad, but still a lot!
Therefore, let's set a limit to the max number of CPUs that can share a
Credit2 runqueue. The actual value is configurable (at boot time), the
default being 16. If, for instance, there are more than 16 CPUs in a
socket, they'll be split among two (or more) runqueues.
Note: with core scheduling enabled, this parameter sets the max number
of *scheduling resources* that can share a runqueue. Therefore, with
granularity set to core (and assumint 2 threads per core), we will have
at most 16 cores per runqueue, which corresponds to 32 threads. But that
is fine, considering how core scheduling works.
