b1b876ca70 optionrom/pvh: load initrd from fw_cfg
If we found initrd through fw_cfg, we can load it and use the
first module of hvm_start_info to pass initrd address and size
to the kernel.

2785dc7b17 optionrom: add new PVH option rom
The new pvh.bin option rom can be used with SeaBIOS to boot
uncompressed kernel using the x86/HVM direct boot ABI.

pvh.S contains the entry point of the option rom. It runs
in real mode, loads the e820 table querying the BIOS, and
then it switches to 32bit protected mode and jumps to the
pvh_load_kernel() written in pvh_main.c.
pvh_load_kernel() loads the cmdline and kernel entry_point
using fw_cfg, then it looks for RSDP, fills the
hvm_start_info required by x86/HVM ABI, and finally jumps
to the kernel entry_point.
