Hey guys,

This patchset creates a general purpose version of the efi_call_virt
macro that does not assume that the function pointer being passed in is
inside of efi.systab->runtime.  It also fixes up uv_bios_call to use the
new functionality, and does a bit of cleanup in the efi_thunk macro.

Quick breakdown of the patches:

Patch 1) Move necessary macros to locations where we can access them.
	 Remove hard-coded efi.systab reference from efi_call_virt.
	 Rename/create new macros as needed.
Patch 2) Simple change to allow UV code to utilize the new
	 functionality.  Included a detailed explanation of how we got
	 here.
Patch 3) Replace a few bits of the efi_thunk macro with the
	 arch_efi_call_setup/teardown macros.

The first two have been tested on simulators and hardware, but the third
has only been compile-tested.  I don't have any hardware to test that
on.

Updates for v2:

- Fix up arm and arm64 versions of arch_efi_call_virt.  I missed these
  on my first pass 
- Add some more detail to the commit message for the uv_bios_call fix.
- Change the third patch to use the arch_efi_call_setup/teardown macros
  inside of the efi_thunk macro, instead of replacing efi_thunk entirely
  for the CONFIG_EFI_MIXED case.
