x86/efi: Add EFI framebuffer earlyprintk support
It's incredibly difficult to diagnose early EFI boot issues without special hardware because earlyprintk=vga doesn't work on EFI systems. Add support for writing to the EFI framebuffer, via earlyprintk=efi, which will actually give users a chance of providing debug output. Cc: H.
