It is useful to have a basic sanity check for EFI loader support. Add a 'bootefi hello' command which loads HelloWord.efi and runs it under U-Boot.

Changes in v3:
- Include a link to the program instead of adding it to the tree
So, uh, where is the link?
I put it in the README (see the arm patch).
I'm really not convinced this command buys us anything yet. I do agree that we want automated testing - but can't we get that using QEMU and a downloadable image file that we pass in as disk and have the distro boot do its magic?
That seems very heavyweight as a sanity check, although I agree it is useful.
Here I am just making sure that EFI programs can start, print output and exit. It is a test that we can easily run without a lot of overhead, much less than a full distro boot.
