This series came from part of the work of removing duplications between
boot code and rewriting part of code from assembly to C.
First 2 patches rework BIOS/PVH paths to reuse some code.
Third patch rewrites EFI code in pure C.

Changes since v1, more details in specific commits:
- style updates;
- comments and descriptions improvements;
- other improvements.

Frediano Ziglio (4):
  x86/boot: Initialise BSS sooner
  x86/boot: Refactor BIOS/PVH start
  x86/boot: Rewrite EFI/MBI2 code partly in C
  x86/boot: Improve MBI2 structure check
