[PATCH v3 0/7] efi: Start to chip away at the EFI workaround

At present there is a function, efi_set_bootdev(), which is used in
various places to tell the EFI loader which device a file came from.

With bootstd, this information is available in the bootflow.

This little series provides a way for bootstd to provide the bootflow to
the EFI loader, so that it is able to select the correct paths.

For now only the EFI bootmeth is updated.

Changes in v3:
- Make calculate_paths() static and add a comment
- Add new patch to support PXE booting
- Rebase on Tom's tree (i.e. without the pointers/addresses series)

Changes in v2:
- Adjust argument ordering for efi_run_image()
- Use efi_loader tag instead of efi
- Drop unnecessary path removal
- Fix 'require' typo
- Move calculation of dev-name into a separate function
