Initial ~arm64 support patch

I've been carrying these patches for quite a while in overlays, mainly for use with kernel bootsplash while still keeping the initramfs small-ish (and on the arch side for pinebook and related).  Turns out to also be very useful for the luks-encrypted UEFI kernel+builtin-initramfs:

  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  20M Oct 26 15:24 gentoo.efi
  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 154M Oct 26 15:24 gentoo.efi.old

Linux foobar 5.3.7-gentoo #4 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 26 15:23:38 PDT 2019 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4600U CPU @ 2.10GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

The attached patches provide both initial ~arm64 support and support for directory paths in FIRMWARE_FILES.
