c815fa4511 x86: Use shared ISR for I2C and GPIO
This patch permits interrupts to be generated by both the I2C and GPIO
controllers for simultaneously-executing applications. The controllers
share a single interrupt pin, INTC. Prior to this patch,
quarkX1000_gpio_init() routed INTA to PIRQC and IRQ 10 (due to an
incorrect assumption that INTA is connected to the GPIO controller),
and quarkX1000_i2c_init() routed INTC to PIRQC and IRQ 9. The I2C
controller initialization is a prerequisite for GPIO initialization,
so the final configuration was that INTA and INTC were both routed to
PIRQC and IRQ 10. Thus, only the GPIO ISR was being invoked, even if
the I2C controller was actually responsible for the interrupt.

This patch refactors the I2C and GPIO ISR setup and handler code so
that the shared portions are combined in
cpu/x86/drivers/legacy_pc/shared-isr.[ch].  The I2C and GPIO drivers
communicate their interrupt information to the shared component by
placing structures in a specific section of the binary.

f85654a82f x86, galileo: Add UEFI support
This patch adds support for optionally building EFI binaries in
addition to Multiboot ELF binaries.  It includes a script,
build_uefi.sh, that downloads tool and library sources from the EDK II
project, builds the GenFw tool that is used to create UEFI binaries,
and creates a makefile that is included from the main x86 common
makefile and enables UEFI support in the Contiki build system.  If the
script is not run prior to building Contiki, then an informational
message will be displayed with instructions for running build_uefi.sh
if UEFI support is desired.  This patch also adds the path to the
auto-generated makefile to .gitignore.

This patch modifies the linker script for the Intel Quark X1000 to
account for the output file section offsets and alignment expectations
of the EDK II GenFw project.

This patch also adds a newlib patch to remove the weak symbol
attribute from floating point stdio support routines.  See
<newlib>/newlib/README for an explanation of how the newlib developers
intended for _printf_float and _scanf_float to be linked.  Newlib
declares them as weak symbols with the intention that developers would
force them to be linked only when needed using a linker command line
option.  However, some but not all Contiki programs require them, so
we cannot simply always include or exclude them.  Instead, we remove
the weak symbol attributes and rely on the linker to automatically
determine whether or not they should be linked.  This avoids an issue
in which weak symbols were undefined in the intermediate DLL generated
as part of the UEFI build process.  That resulted in the GenFw program
emitting "ERROR 3000" messages when it encountered relocations
referencing such an undefined symbol.

Finally, this patch updates README.md to both make some revisions to
account for the UART support introduced in previous patches as well as
to provide instructions for using the UEFI support.

6b433aede1 x86: Improve release binary size
This patch adds -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections to the
'release' CFLAGS so each function and data is place into its
own section in the output file. It also adds --gc-section to
the 'release' LDFLAGS so the linker removes the sections which
are not referenced.

This patch also adds -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections
options to CFLAGS from build_newlib.sh. This increases newlib
static libraries size, however, the Contiki image shrinks even
more since --gc-section removes "dead code" from newlib.

As a practical effect, all unused function and data (as well as
sections such as .eh_frame) are striped out from the final elf
binary. This shrinks our release binary drastically.

Finally, to prevent --gc-section from removing .multiboot section,
this patch adds KEEP(*(.multiboot)) to quarkX1000.ld.

bdcf58033a x86: Group sections for QuarkX1000
Child sections can be created depending on the CFLAGS used when building Contiki.
For instance, if built with -ffunction-sections or -fdata-sections would create
one section per function/variable and -Os sometimes split part of .text into one
child section.

This can also be an issue if we start linking with external libraries that are
built in such a way. Since we can't foresee how the port is going to be used,
we should make sure it is ready for the cases above.

This patch fixes this by correctly grouping child sections into their parent
sections.

Patch developed while investigating a bug with José Souza (jose.souza@intel.com).

13bbe8a5b5 x86: Don't generate .note.gnu.build-id section
This patch adds "--build-id=none" to default LDFLAGS so
.note.gnu.build-id section is not generated. This section
contains unique identification for the built files what is
not important to us (at least at this moment).

This change simplifies all linker scripts for SoCs based on x86
(at this moment we only have Quark X1000) since we don't have to
care about it anymore.

a8849b2909 x86: Move bootstrap code and linker script to cpu/x86
This is a refactoring patch, no functionality is changed. It moves
loader.S and galileo.ld from platform/galileo/ to cpu/x86/ directory
since they seem to be more SoC-specific than platform-specific.

It also renames galileo.ld to quarkX1000.ld since it can be used by
any platform based on Quark X1000 SoC, not only Galileo.

Furthermore, this patch also renames loader.S to bootstrap_quarkX1000.S
since it is pretty much a bootstrap code to any platform based on Quark
X1000 SoC.
