Description

Add installer support for PS3 and PowerNV systems, also laying the
foundation for invoking efibootmgr as part of new-style EFI booting on
x86. On PS3 and PowerNV, which are booted using Linux kexec from petitboot
rather than by loader(8), install the kernel and the rest of /boot to a
FAT partition and set up the appropriate petitboot configuration file
there.

The new bootconfig installer stage can do platform-dependent modifications
more complex than partition layout and installation of boot blocks and can
be used to (as here) set up some special configuration files, run efibootmgr,
or boot0cfg.
