[REGRESSION] "efi: efistub: Convert into static library" and preparation patches

Hey,

My macbook pro 8.2 fails to do a efi stub boot with these patches.

Commit f23cf8bd5c1f49 "efi/x86: efistub: Move shared dependencies to <asm/efi.h>"
causes the first break, but this can be averted by changing

struct efi_config *efi_early;

to

struct efi_config *efi_early __attribute__((visibility("hidden")));

I also need to revert commit f4f75ad5741fe "efi: efistub: Convert into static library"
to get boot working.

I'm not an early boot expert, so I have no idea what's going on here.
Only console output I see when the boot fails is "setup_efi_pci() failed!" after
the commit that adds this message.
