The generic r/w singleton object 'struct efi efi' is currently being used
as a dumping ground for memory addresses of firmware tables that only have
significance for a single architecture, or only at boot time [whereas
struct efi is an object with indefinite lifetime, and which is exported
to modules]
Since we're expecting a new arrival that does affect all architectures,
which will need to be added to struct efi as well, let's do a cleanup
pass, and move out all the per-arch pieces and other stuff that does not
need to live in a global r/w struct.
As a side effect, I ran into some other things that can be refactored
so that more code is shared between architectures, or made x86 specific
if it is something that should maybe not have existed in the first place,
and x86 is the only architecture where we cannot remove it for compatibility
reasons.
Finally, we get rid of the struct efi::systab member, which we only need
at runtime to get at the 'runtime' pointer, so let's store that instead.
This allows us to drop some ugly handling of the remapped systab address,
which we cannot discover as easily as the remapped 'runtime' pointer.
