firmware: introduce sysfs driver for QEMU's fw_cfg device
Make fw_cfg entries of type "file" available via sysfs. Entries are listed under /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_key, in folders named after each entry's selector key. Filename, selector value, and size read-only attributes are included for each entry. Also, a "raw" attribute allows retrieval of the full binary content of each entry. The fw_cfg device can be instantiated automatically from ACPI or the Device Tree, or manually by using a kernel module (or command line) parameter, with a syntax outlined in the documentation file.
