[PATCH 0/4] linux: implement LoadFile2 initrd loading

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This implements the LoadFile2 initrd loading protocol, which is
essentially a callback face into the bootloader to load the initrd
data into a caller provided buffer. This means the bootloader no
longer has to contain any policy regarding where to load the initrd
(which differs between architectures and kernel versions) and no
longer has to manipulate arch specific data structures such as DT
or struct bootparams to inform the OS where the initrd resides in
memory.

Sample output from booting a recent Linux/arm64 kernel:

  grub> insmod part_msdos
  grub> linux (hd0,msdos1)/Image
  grub> initrd (hd0,msdos1)/initrd.img
  grub> boot
