This series completes the work to get the EFI app booting an EFI
application (e.g. Ubuntu):

- efidebug dh now works, and is slightly enhanced
- device paths which refer to the underlying EFI layer can now be
  requested by the app
- a test is provided, for EFI on ARM booting into Ubuntu using the sjg
  lab

  test/py: Support a timing report when max_count is 0
  efi: Drop EFI_CALL() from efidebug command
  efi: Move driver-binding guid to a common file
  efi: Drop the BS macro with efi debug
  efi: Use a function to obtain boot services in efi debug
  efi: Use a local var for a handle with efidebug dh
  efi: Show the device name only with the EFI loader
  efi: Update efidebug dh to work with the app
  efi: Add the component-name2 protocol to efidebug dh
  efi: Show component names and other info with efidebug dh
