[PATCH v4 0/4] Apple device properties

[Lukas Wunner <lukas-JFq808J9C/izQB+pC5nmwQ@public.gmane.org>]

Retrieve device properties from EFI on Macs before ExitBootServices is
called and assign them to devices (patch [3/4]). The devices that
properties pertain to are encoded as EFI Device Paths, so add a parser
for these (patch [1/4]). As a first use case, amend the Thunderbolt driver
to take advantage of the Device ROM supplied by EFI (patch [4/4]).

Changes since v3:

- New patch [2/4] which introduces efi_call_proto() and efi_table_attr()
  macros to allow bitness-agnostic EFI protocol calls and table lookups.
  Previously when retrieving the properties in patch [3/4], a ternary
  operator was used to make the code work in mixed-mode, but Matt
  correctly remarked that it impacted readability.  The new approach
  seeks to maintain readability while avoiding code duplication.

- Address all other comments by Matt on patch [3/4]:  In eboot.c, move
  comparison of fw_vendor and call to retrieve_apple_device_properties()
  out of efi_main() and into a separate setup_quirks() function which
  may accommodate future vendor- or device-specific quirks.  Fix up
  comments and curly braces, add newlines and suffix typedefs with "_t"
  as requested by Matt.

- Fix bug in comparison of fw_vendor in patch [3/4] wherein the system
  table was assumed to be the 64-bit version when compiling on x86_64,
  which obviously didn't work in mixed-mode.

- Fix double free in error path in patch [4/4] spotted by Andreas.
