At present we have a simple assignment to gd. With some archs this is
implemented as a register or through some other means; a simple assignment
does not suit in all cases.

Change this to a function and add documentation to describe how this all
works.

It is useful to be able to load U-Boot onto a board even if is it already
running EFI. This can allow access to the U-Boot command interface, flexible
booting options and easier development.

The easiest way to do this is to build U-Boot as a binary blob and have an
EFI stub copy it into RAM. Add support for this feature, targeting 32-bit
initially.

Also add a way to detect when U-Boot has been loaded via a stub. This goes
in common.h since it needs to be widely available so that we avoid redoing
initialisation that should be skipped.

U-Boot uses structures for hardware access so it is important that these
structures are correct. Add a way of asserting that a structure member is
at a particular offset. This can be created using the datasheet for the
hardware.

This implementation uses Static_assert() since BUILD_BUG_ON() only works
within functions.

This function is used before jumping to U-Boot, but in that case we don't
always want to disable caches.

gd->ram_size is stored as phys_size_t type which can be bigger than an
unsigned long on some architectures.  When using unsigned long type,
SDRAM of 4GiB or larger will not print the correct size, but using
phys_size_t will.

Before adding one more function, create a separate header to help reduce
the size of common.h. Add the missing function comments and tidy up.

Initial filesystem images are generally highly compressible.

Add a routine gzwrite that allows gzip-compressed images to be

U-Boot does not have system calls (the services it exposes to
standalone commands use a different mechanism), so the syscall handler
is dead code.  It's also broken code, as it assumes it is located at
0xc00 -- while even before the patch to stop relocating exception
vectors to 0, U-Boot had the syscall at 0x900.

The critical and machine check return paths are never called -- the
regular exception return path is used instead, which works because
xSRR0/1 have already been saved and can be restored via the regular
SRR0/1 (we don't care too much in U-Boot about taking a critical/mcheck
inside another exception prolog/epilog).

Also remove a few other small unused functions.
