efi_loader: PSCI reset and shutdown
When an operating system started via bootefi tries to reset or power off this is done by calling the EFI runtime ResetSystem(). On most ARMv8 system the actual reset relies on PSCI. Depending on whether the PSCI firmware resides the hypervisor (EL2) or in the secure monitor (EL3) either an HVC or an SMC command has to be issued. The current implementation always uses SMC. This results in crashes on systems where the PSCI firmware is implemented in the hypervisor, e.g. qemu-arm64_defconfig. The logic to decide which call is needed based on the device tree is already implemented in the PSCI firmware driver. During the EFI runtime the device driver model is not available. But we can minimize code duplication by merging the EFI runtime reset and poweroff code with the PSCI firmware driver. As the same HVC/SMC problem is also evident for the ARMv8 do_poweroff and reset_misc routines let's move them into the same code module.
