UEFI has a bytecode, the uEfi ByteCode (EBC). It has traditionally been a bytecode used to consolidate all 3 Intel platforms (x86, x64, Itanic), into a single bytecode, so there only needs to be a single driver on the flash, saving flash memory. Unfortunately, it only supported Intel platforms, not ARM, so it was not a universal bytecode for EFI, only a bytecode for Intel systems. Now, someone has ported AArch64 to ARM, so now EBC may now be more interesting!

Import the AArch64 EBC implementation from
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/server/edk2-blue/

Tested with MdeModulePkg/Application/HelloWorld built for EBC.
Would appreciate some reviewing and testing.
