Apple EFI drivers supply device properties which are needed to support
Macs optimally.

This series extends the efistub to retrieve the device properties before
ExitBootServices is called (patch [1/6]). They are assigned to devices
in an fs_initcall (patch [5/6]). As a first use case, the Thunderbolt
driver is amended to take advantage of the Device ROM supplied by EFI
(patch [6/6]).

A by-product is a parser for EFI Device Paths which finds the struct
device corresponding to a given path. This is needed to assign
properties to their devices (patch [3/6]).


I've pushed these patches to GitHub where they can be reviewed more
comfortably with green/red highlighting:
https://github.com/l1k/linux/commits/apple_properties_v1


It would be good if one of the resident EFI experts could look over
patch [1/6] to see if I've made any mistakes that might prevent this
from working on 32 bit. It was only tested on 64 bit, I don't know
anyone with an older Mac who could test this.

Specifically, is the following okay:
efi_early->call((unsigned long)sys_table->boottime->locate_protocol, ...)

It would be convenient to have LocateProtocol or LocateHandleBuffer in
struct efi_config so that they can be called with efi_call_early().
Would a patch to add those be entertained? Right now we only offer
LocateHandle and HandleProtocol, which is somewhat cumbersome and
needs more code as the setup_pci() functions show.

Thanks,

Lukas
