Please don't create another struct of EFI function pointers.
After this we'll have 3 global efi structures defintions and 4 global
efi objects on x86,
- struct efi_early [in the boot stub]
- struct efi ['efi_phys' before/'efi' after SetVirtualAddressMap()]
- struct efi_init_ops [for the benefit of xen]
I have a big problem with exposing .efi_reserve_boot_services as an API.
Also, the fact that in later patches you're copying chunks of the x86
virt_*() funtions suggests to me that this has been implemented at the
wrong layer, because it actively discourages sharing code between x86
and Xen.
