Zheng, Gen b240450064 UEFI: change the acrn boot flow on uefi platform
With current code, the acrn.efi is inserted between
cl bootloader.efi and bzImage.efi that destroyed the chain
relationship of cl bootloader and cl bzImage.efi.
And the following is current boot flow:
UEFI -> cl bootloader.efi -> acrn.efi -> bzImage.efi

The purpose of this patch is resume above chain relationship,
and make uefi vm return to efi stub context once launched,
then continue to call the UEFI API(LoadImage/StartImage) to launch
cl bootloader or other bootloaders. So the boot flow will
change to be as below:
UEFI -> acrn.efi -> cl bootloader.efi -> bzImage.efi

After applying this patch, the code related to loading
bzImage.efi and getting pe_entry is unnecessary due to
the bzImage.efi will not be launched by acrn.efi directly,
so it is removed.

Embedded-Hypervisor
###################

This open source embedded hypervisor defines a software architecture for
running multiple software subsystems managed securely on a consolidated
system (by means of a virtual machine manager), and defines a reference
framework Device Model implementation for devices emulation

This embedded hypervisor is type-1 reference hypervisor, running
directly on the system hardware. It can be used for building software
defined cockpit (SDC) or In-Vehicle Experience (IVE) solutions running
on Intel Architecture Apollo Lake platforms. As a reference
implementation, it provides the basis for embedded hypervisor vendors to
build solutions with an open source reference I/O mediation solution,
and provides auto makers a reference software stack for SDC usage.

This embedded hypervisor is able to support both Linux* and Android* as
a Guest OS, managed by the hypervisor, where applications can run.

This embedded hypervisor is a partitioning hypervisor reference stack,
also suitable for non-automotive IoT & embedded device solutions. It
will be addressing the gap that currently exists between datacenter
hypervisors, hard partitioning hypervisors, and select industrial
applications.  Extending the scope of this open source embedded
hypervisor relies on the involvement of community developers like you!
