We're about to extended the efistub to retrieve device properties from EFI on Apple Macs. The properties use EFI Device Paths to indicate the device they belong to. This commit adds a parser which, given an EFI Device Path, locates the corresponding struct device and returns a reference to it. Initially only ACPI and PCI Device Path nodes are supported, these are the only types needed for Apple device properties (the corresponding macOS function AppleACPIPlatformExpert::matchEFIDevicePath() does not support any others). Further node types can be added with little to moderate effort. Apple device properties is currently the only use case of this parser, but Peter Jones intends to use it to match up devices with the ConInDev/ConOutDev/ErrOutDev variables and add sysfs attributes to these devices to say the hardware supports using them as console. Thus, make this parser a separate component which can be selected with config option EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER. It can in principle be compiled as a module if acpi_get_first_physical_node() and acpi_bus_type are exported (and efi_get_device_by_path() itself is exported). The dependency on CONFIG_ACPI is needed for acpi_match_device_ids(). It can be removed if an empty inline stub is added for that function.
