[PATCH] sparc64: add bios boot partition support

[Eric Snowberg]

Add BIOS Boot Partition support for sparc64 platforms.  This will work a
little different than x86.  With GPT, both the OBP "load" and "boot" commands
are partition aware and neither command can see the partition table.  Therefore
the entire boot-loader is stored within the BIOS Boot Partition and nothing
is stored within the bootstrap code area of MBR.

To use it, the end user will issue the boot command with the path pointing to
the BIOS Boot Partition.

For example with the disk below:

Model: Unknown (unknown)
Disk /dev/nvme1n1: 1600GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name  Flags
1      1049kB  1075MB  1074MB   ext3
2      1075MB  1076MB  1049kB                     bios_grub
3      1076MB  1600GB  1599GB                     lvm

To boot grub2 from OBP, you would use:

boot 
/address@hidden/address@hidden/address@hidden/address@hidden/address@hidden/address@hidden:b
