It is a bit of a pain to log EFI boot-services calls at present. The output goes to the console so cannot easily be inspected later. Also it would be useful to be able to store the log and review it later, perhaps after something has gone wrong.
This series makes a start on implementing a log-to-buffer feature. It provides a simple 'efidebug log' command to inspect the buffer. For now, only memory allocations are logged. This feature makes it possible to add tests to check which EFI calls are made by U-Boot itself. It may also make it easier to figure out what is needed for booting Windows. Some patches to help with debugging sandbox memory-mapping are included, but for now EFI's use of mapping is not adjusted.
