155dbcacfb Change the startup code to fix a memory leak and to allow us to
accept load options (=command line options).

The call graph changes from *entry*->efi_main->efi_init, where
efi_main is the EFI equivalent of main to *entry*->efi_main->main,
where main is what you'd expect. efi_main now is what efi_init was.
The prototype of main follows that of C. The first argument is argc
and the second is argv. There is no third argument.
Allocation of heap pages is now handled by the EFI library and it
now deallocates the pages when main() returns or when exit() is
called. This allows us to safely return to the boot manager (or
EFI shell) without leaks. EFI applications are responsible to free
all memory themselves.

Handling of the load options is a bit tricky. There are either no
load options, load options in ASCII or load options in Unicode.
The EFI library will translate the ASCII options to Unicode options
as to simplify user code. Since the load options are passed as a
single string (if present) and main() accepts argc and argv, the
startup code also has to split the string into words and build the
argv vector. Here the trickiness starts. When the loader is started
from the EFI shell, argv[0] will automaticly load the program name.
In all other cases (ie through the boot manager), this is not the
case. Unfortunately, there's no trivial way to check. Hence, a
set of conditions is checked to determine if we need to fill in
argv[0] ourselves or not. This checking is not perfect. There are
known cases where it fails to do the right thing. The logic works
for most expected cases, though. This includes the case where no
options are given.

06cb726431 An almost mechanical sweep to replace C++ style comments with C
style comments. This is not an attempt to conform to style(9).
Such has lower priority.

9b6a75edb3 gcc-3.1 likes to have extra { } around the internal array initializers in
the GUID templates.

24ffe931b9 Lookup the EFI_FPSWA driver and pass the interface pointer through to the
kernel before we call ExitBootServices().  I've typed the definitions
in efifpswa.h from the Intel FPSWA manual (urk).

8e92224a8a This is used in C, not C++. functions with no args have func(void) in our
kernel.

0ac2d551f2 o Add new header <sys/stdint.h>.
o Make <stdint.h> a symbolic link to <sys/stdint.h>.
o Move most of <sys/inttypes.h> into <sys/stdint.h>, as per C99.
o Remove <sys/inttypes.h>.
o Adjust includes in sys/types.h and boot/efi/include/ia64/efibind.h
  to reflect new location of integer types in <sys/stdint.h>.
o Remove previously symbolicly linked <inttypes.h>, instead create a
  new file.
o Add MD headers <machine/_inttypes.h> from NetBSD.
o Include <sys/stdint.h> in <inttypes.h>, as required by C99; and
  include <machine/_inttypes.h> in <inttypes.h>, to fill in the
  remaining requirements for <inttypes.h>.
o Add additional integer types in <machine/ansi.h> and
  <machine/limits.h> which are included via <sys/stdint.h>.
