efi: Mark global BIOS-only symbols as __weak
Unfortunately, there are still some references in generic code to symbols that only make sense under BIOS. Use the __weak tag to allow building for EFI without having to declare these symbols. Accessing these __weak symbols under EFI will generate an error at runtime, indicating to the user that they're executing a BIOS code path. The long-term solution is to move these BIOS-specific symbols into core/bios.c or somewhere equally BIOS-centric so that these symbols are no longer global.
