[PATCH v2 0/4] Runtime allocation of memory regions

[Patrick Steinhardt]

Hi,

this is version two of the patch series which implements allocation of
new memory regions at runtime for EFI-based systems. The goal is to be
able to allocate big chunks of memory, which is currently not possible
given that GRUB only allocates a fixed amount of bytes.

This version has been rebased on top of the current master. The only
change compared to v1 is a the patch 3/4, which changes the signature of
`add_memory_regions ()` to pass up any errors instead of raising a fatal
error.

I've tested this change with my Argon2 support for LUKS2. Due to Argon2
being memory hard, it requires us to allocate a consecutive 1GB chunk in
which the resulting key will be computed.
