Michael Brown cced04ef3b [efi] Provide component name protocol and device path protocol interfaces
Include a minimal component name protocol so that the driver name
shows up as something other than "<UNKNOWN>" in the driver list, and a
device path protocol so that the network interface shows up as a
separate device in the device list, rather than being attached
directly to the PCI device.

Incidentally, the EFI component name protocol reaches new depths for
signal-to-noise ratio in program code.  A typical instance within the
EFI development kit will use an additional 300 lines of code to
provide slightly less functionality than GNU gettext achieves with
three additional characters.
