2223af3890 efi: Fix the ACPI BGRT driver for images located in EFI boot services memory
The ACPI BGRT driver accesses the BIOS logo image when it initializes.
However, ACPI 5.0 (which introduces the BGRT) recommends putting the
logo image in EFI boot services memory, so that the OS can reclaim that
memory.  Production systems follow this recommendation, breaking the
ACPI BGRT driver.

Move the bulk of the BGRT code to run during a new EFI late
initialization phase, which occurs after switching EFI to virtual mode,
and after initializing ACPI, but before freeing boot services memory.
Copy the BIOS logo image to kernel memory at that point, and make it
accessible to the BGRT driver.  Rework the existing ACPI BGRT driver to
act as a simple wrapper exposing that image (and the properties from the
BGRT) via sysfs.

2ee93ab67a acpi, bgrd: Add missing <linux/io.h> to drivers/acpi/bgrt.c
The ACPI BGRT driver uses ioremap() and memcpy_fromio(), which means
it needs to #include <linux/io.h>.

[ hpa: This was hidden because <asm/acpi.h> used to include <asm/trampoline.h>,
  which then included <asm/io.h> ]

d1ff4b1cdb ACPI: Add support for exposing BGRT data
ACPI 5.0 adds the BGRT, a table that contains a pointer to the firmware
boot splash and associated metadata. This simple driver exposes it via
/sys/firmware/acpi in order to allow bootsplash applications to draw their
splash around the firmware image and reduce the number of jarring graphical
transitions during boot.
