cover arm64: Add multiboot support (via fdt) for Xen boot

- This multiboot support is built into linux module for aarch64.

- The implementation for Xen is following <Multiboot on ARM Specification>:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Multiboot
and xen/docs/misc/arm/device-tree/booting.txt in Xen source code.

- The example of this support is <How to boot Xen with GRUB on AArch64 the Foundation FVP model>
https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Grub2/Xen_booting_on_Foundation_FVP_model_by_GRUB

- This adds support for the Xen Multiboot on ARM specification for arm64, enabling config file portability across the architectures.

- The multiboot command is currently x86-only, so reusing these command names should not conflict with any future additions of ARM support to multiboot2.

- The reason of adding this functionality to the existing "linux" module rather than "multiboot(2)"
(1)multiboot is x86 only
(2)Multiboot is added to "linux" module because it reuses existing code.

- Some changes in original linux module code
Move some #define from grub-core/loader/arm64/linux.c to include/grub/arm64/linux.h Make some shared functions for multiboot.c
Remove "loaded" checking in the grub_cmd_devicetree of linux.c

- Add grub_fdt_set_reg64 macro into fdt.h header file for inserting "reg" properiy, while #address-cells = <0x2> and #size-cells = <0x2>

- Add the introduction of multiboot/module command in docs/grub.texi

This multiboot support will be built in linux module for aarch64, and can not be used alone.

I've tested the code at

which I believe is the same as this posting on an AMD Seattle system with a 40_custom containing:

        menuentry 'Baremetal' {
        	insmod gzio
        	insmod part_msdos

        }

(my system is too confused for 10_linux or 20_linux_xen right now, but I believe this is representative of what they would emit)

The result was that I could boot both Baremetal and Xen via grub. So:

I've not looked at the code (although I did review several older iterations), would it be useful to the grub maintainers for me to do so?

Ping?

I think it would be great to have multiboot support in grub. As a matter of fact without it grub cannot load xen on arm.

Hi everybody,
any suggestion for my patchset?

Your CC list contains grub-devel, some other lists and a bunch of individuals who are not actually grub developers, who are the ones I think you actually need to be pinging. Perhaps try addressing some relevant grub developer(s) directly?

Sorry for delay. grub-devel is not overcrowded right now; I started to review them but got distracted. I'll try to find time.
