There are several reasons that I want to rework/refactor bootefi command
as well as bootmgr:
* Some previous commits on bootefi.c have made the code complicated
and a bit hard to understand.
* do_bootefi_exec() would better be implemented using load_image() along
with start_image() to be aligned with UEFI interfaces.
* Contrary to the other part, efi_selftest part of the code is unusal
in terms of loading/execution path in do_bootefi().
* When we will support "secure boot" in the future, EFI Boot Manager
is expected to be invoked as a standalone command without any arguments
to mitigate security surfaces.
In this patch set,
Patch#1 is a bug fix.
Patch#2 to #9 are preparatory patches for patch#10.
Patch#10 is a core part of reworking.
Patch#11 is for standalone boot manager.
# Please note that some patches, say patch#4 and #5, can be combined into one
# but I intentionally keep them separated to clearify my intentions of changes.
Prerequsite patch:
* "efi_loader: bootmgr: support BootNext and BootCurrent variable behavior"
* "efi_loader: release file buffer after loading image"
Issues:
* load_image() will take an argument of "parent_handle," but obviously
we don't have any parent when invoking an application from command line.
(See FIXME in patch#10.)
* Starting EDK2's Shell.efi from boot manager fails.
(I need to find out a fix.)
* The semantics of efi_dp_from_name() should be changed.
(See FIXME in patch#10.)

* use load_image API in do_bootmgr_load()
* merge efi_install_fdt() and efi_process_fdt()
* add EFI_LOADED_IMAGE_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL to image (patch#1)
* lots of minor changes
