Currently, we support mixed mode (64-bit Linux running on 32-bit firmware) by explicitly reasoning about pointer sizes for every call into the firmware: on x86, there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of each protocol interface, and each call gets routed via one of the two, depending on the native size of the firmware. There is a lot of casting and pointer mangling involved in this, and as a result, we end up with much less coverage in terms of type checking by the compiler, due to the indirection via an anonymous, variadic thunking routine. This peculiarity of x86 is also leaking into generic EFI code, which is shared with ia64, arm64, ARM and likely RiscV in the future. So let's try to clean this up a bit. The approach taken by this series is to replace the 32/64 bit distinction with a distinction between native calls and mixed mode calls, where the former can be either 32 or 64 bit [depending on the platform] and use the ordinary native protocol definitions, while mixed mode calls retain the existing casting/thunking approach based on the 32-bit protocol definitions. Given that GCC now supports emitting function calls using the MS calling convention, we can get rid of all the wrapping and casting, and emit the indirect calls directly.
