x86: Add support for the Simple Firmware Interface (SFI)
This provides a way of passing information to Linux without requiring the full ACPI horror. Provide a rudimentary implementation sufficient to be recognised and parsed by Linux. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>

+ bool "Generate a SFI (Simple Firmware Interface) table"
+ help
+ The Simple Firmware Interface (SFI) provides a lightweight method
+ for platform firmware to pass information to the operating system
+ via static tables in memory. Kernel SFI support is required to
+ boot on SFI-only platforms. If you have ACPI tables then these are
+ used instead.
+
+ U-Boot writes this table in write_sfi_table() just before booting
+ the OS.
