Ian Wienand 7f98cfbcf7 bootloader: clean up EFI checking
The check removed here came in with
I4481b43e4a8fe4144be9c7eb9d9c618bbb2df21e a long time ago.  At that
time we were not building EFI images, and were building i386 images;
both of which are now untrue.

We can simplify this now by merging it into the gpt/mbr path.  If we
are in there we know that we should set --target=i386-pc for BIOS
boot.  For sanity check that we are x86 in this path -- PPC is handled
separately (although it's probably bit-rotted) and ARM64 is EFI.

  • DIB_BOOTLOADER_SERIAL_CONSOLE sets the serial device to be used as a console. It defaults to hvc0 for PowerPC, ttyAMA0,115200 for ARM64, otherwise ttyS0,115200.
