[LinuxBIOS] [PATCH] v3: convert stage2 to multi-segment LAR

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

This is on top of the patch I sent 50 minutes ago titled: "Re:
[LinuxBIOS] patch: prepare v3 tree for new way of doing initram".

Convert stage2 handling from binary blob to multi-segment LAR which is
created by parsing the ELF file linuxbios.stage2.o. That way, we avoid
manual specification of the entry point for stage2 code. A few LAR
functions are now unused and can be removed in a following cleanup session.
Another suggested cleanup would be factoring out a load_all_segments
function, resulting in less code duplication.
