Some versions of mtools (fixed somewhere between 4.0.31 and 4.0.35)
generate bad output for mformat when used with the partition= option.
Use the offset= option instead. An mtools.conf entry is *also* needed
with partition= to support mpartition; combining them in one entry does
not work either.
Don't specify the -t option to mpartition; it is unnecessary and seems
to confuse mpartition under some circumstances.
Also do a few minor optimizations:
Use a larger cluster size; there is no reason for the typical 4K
clusters when we are dealing mainly with comparatively huge files.
Start the partition at 32K. There is no reason to align it more than
that, since the internal FAT filesystem structures will at best be
cluster-aligned, and 32K is the maximum FAT cluster size.

The image generation scripts in arch/x86/boot are pretty out of date,
except for the isoimage target. Update and clean up the
genimage.sh script, and make it support an arbitrary number of
initramfs files in the image.
Add a "hdimage" target, which can be booted by either BIOS or
EFI (if the kernel is compiled with the EFI stub.) For EFI to be able
to pass the command line to the kernel, we need the EFI shell, but the
firmware builtin EFI shell, if it even exists, is pretty much always
the last resort boot option, so search for OVMF or EDK2 and explicitly
include a copy of the EFI shell.
To make this all work, use bash features in the script. Furthermore,
this version of the script makes use of some mtools features,
especially mpartition, that might not exist in very old version of
mtools, but given all the other dependencies on this script this
doesn't seem such a big deal.
Finally, put a volume label ("LINUX_BOOT") on all generated images.

The build messages for fdimage/isoimage generation are pretty unstructured,
just the raw shell command blocks are printed.
Emit shortened messages similar to existing kbuild messages, and move
the Makefile commands into a separate shell script - which is much
easier to handle.
This patch factors out the commands used for fdimage/isoimage generation
from arch/x86/boot/Makefile to a new script arch/x86/boot/genimage.sh.
Then it adds the new kbuild command 'genimage' which invokes the new script.
All fdimages/isoimage files are now generated by a call to 'genimage' with
different parameters.
Now 'make isoimage' becomes:
