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.
