[PATCH v7 0/2] efi: Free memory on exit |

When exiting grub, we currently leave the heap allocated. This means that if we
exit and rerun grub, after a few iterations we can run into memory shortage.
This patch set frees the heap on exit. That way we can rerun grub many times
without much problem.
v3 -> v4:
- Move grub_reboot to kern/efi/efi.c
- use dynamic list instead of static array at runtime
- use allocate_pool for list, so we are not bound by heap or random numbers
- remember all allocations, not just the heap
v4 -> v5:
- free dynamic list entries on allocation removal
v5 -> v6:
- move next ptr to last field
- s/start_addr/address/
- s/grub_efi_unremember_pages()/grub_efi_drop_alloc()/
- s/grub_efi_remember_pages()/grub_efi_store_alloc()/
- move grub_efi_drop_alloc after grub_efi_store_alloc
- s/grub2/GRUB/
- Make grub_efi_memory_fini comment more verbose
- Drop useless efi_allocated_memory = NULL; line
v6 -> v7:
- rewrite grub_efi_drop_alloc() according to Daniel's comments
