According to UEFI 2.6 section 7.5.3, the capsule should be in contiguous
virtual memory and firmware may consume the capsule immediately. To
correctly implement this functionality, the kernel driver needs to vmap
the entire capsule at the time it is made available to firmware.
The virtual allocation of the capsule update has been changed from kmap,
which was only allocating the first page of the update, to vmap, and
allocates the entire data payload.

This patch introduces a kernel module to expose a capsule loader
interface (misc char device file note) for users to upload capsule
binaries.
Example:
cat firmware.bin > /dev/efi_capsule_loader
Any upload error will be returned while doing "cat" through file
operation write() function call.
