[OE-core] [PATCH 0/4] #10073: generic EFI for wic

[Ed Bartosh]

Hi,

This patchset is an implementation of generic EFI approach for wic images.

Instead of introducing yet another wic plugin it uses existing APIs from
EFI_PROVIDER classes to populate ${WORKDIR}/bootfs directory with EFI artifacts
and bootloader configuration. This directory can be used by wic rootfs plugin
to put into boot partition of the image.

Example kickstart file and 2 test cases were added to wic test suite to better
illustrate the approach.

I personally like this approach much better than duplicating oe image creation
functionality in wic plugins. This way we can have the code in one place and
bootloaders can be configured the same way for oe and wic images.

The following changes since commit cdb9e7aa493d9ed0eb6ffcec37d581ea928b5f2b:

  selftest: fix test_unsupported_subcommand test case (2017-05-02 17:24:23 +0300)
