EFI Runtime Services on ARM are enabled very early in the boot process
although they aren't used until substantially later. This patch modifies
the efi initialization sequence on ARM to enable runtime services just
before they are effectively needed (in a subsys target instead of early).
The reason behind this change is that eventually, a late Runtime Services
initialization could take advantage of KVM's internal virtual machines to
sandbox firmware code execution. Since KVM's core is only available
starting from the subsys target, this reordering would be compulsory.
