Add a kernel patch for the efi boot stub to read a config file when booted without arguments, and base removable media booting off of that patch

Browse Source 
The patch is currently being discussed on LKML and hopefully will be included
in mainline in some form in the future. Note that booting from the livecd has
to do a lot of work before anything is output to the console, so if the drive
is still busy don't assume the boot has hanged

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86, efi: EFI boot stub config file support
When booting via the EFI boot stub, search for a file named 'linux.conf' in
the same directory as the bzImage and read the kernel command line from it
when no load options are passed.
The file search should only be triggered when the bzImage is loaded from the
firmware's boot process. When loaded via an EFI shell, the load options always
contain at least one character, even if no parameters were passed at the
prompt.
