Subject: [PATCH] efi: split allocation policy for kernel vs initrd memories.

Currently in our kernel allocator, we use the same set of choices for
all of our various kernel and initramfs allocations, though they do not
have exactly the same constraints.

This patch adds the concept of an allocation purpose, which currently
can be KERNEL_MEM or INITRD_MEM, and updates kernel_alloc() calls
appropriately, but does not change any current policy decision.  It
also adds a few debug prints.
