Up to now the EFI boot manager is running as a global boot method before scanning block devices. This leads to failures to boot from unprobed devices. Scanning all devices before running the EFI boot manager is not wanted by some board maintainers.
Introduce a dummy bootdev with a priority between block devices and network devices. Add the dummy bootdeb to the QEMU ARM environment. Do not run the EFI bootdev as we must not run EFI\BOOT\BOOTARCH.EFI before the boot manager.
