The pr_*() calls in the x86 EFI code may or may not include a
subsystem tag, which makes it difficult to grep the kernel log for all
relevant EFI messages and leads users to miss important information.
Recently, a bug reporter provided all the EFI print messages from the
kernel log when trying to diagnose an issue but missed the following
statement because it wasn't prefixed with anything indicating it was
related to EFI,
pr_err("Error ident-mapping new memmap (0x%lx)!\n", pa_memmap);

It appears that the BayTrail-T class of hardware requires EFI in order
to powerdown and reboot and no other reliable method exists.
This quirk is generally applicable to all hardware that has the ACPI
Hardware Reduced bit set, since usually ACPI would be the preferred
method.

Dave Young had made previous attempts to convert the early_iounmap()
calls to early_memunmap() but ran into merge conflicts with commit
9e5c33d7ae ("mm: create generic early_ioremap() support").
Now that we've got that commit in place we can switch to using
early_memunmap() since we're already using early_memremap() in
efi_reuse_config().

Currently, it's difficult to find all the workarounds that are
applied when running on EFI, because they're littered throughout
various code paths. This change moves all of them into a separate
file with the hope that it will be come the single location for all
our well documented quirks.
