From: "Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu)" <paul.liu@linaro.org>

Add EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE_POINTER structure for remote debugger to locate
the address of EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE.

This feature is described in UEFI SPEC version 2.10. Section 18.4.2.
The implementation ensures support for hardware-assisted debugging and
provides a standardized mechanism for debuggers to discover the EFI
system table.

V2: add Kconfig options to turn on/off this feature.
V3: make efi_initialize_system_table_pointer() do the job as described.
V4: use efi_alloc_aligned_pages() for system_table_pointer.
V5: move the code into a separate module.
V6: Use macros to replace size_4MB

There should be at least one defconfig using the setting so that we at 
least compile the new code in our CI.

This comment does not match the allocated object.

Please, assign system_pointer here directly and avoid unnecessary 
conversions (void *) -> (uintptr_t) -> (struct efi_system_table_pointer *).

You can do that assignment directly without extra variable.

Running scripts/checkpatch.pl will indicated that the braces should be 
avoided here to achieve adherence to the kernel style.
