firmware: create directory hierarchy for sysfs fw_cfg entries Each fw_cfg entry of type "file" has an associated 56-char, nul-terminated ASCII string which represents its name. While the fw_cfg device doesn't itself impose any specific naming convention, QEMU developers have traditionally used path name semantics (i.e. "etc/acpi/rsdp") to descriptively name the various fw_cfg "blobs" passed into the guest. This patch attempts, on a best effort basis, to create a directory hierarchy representing the content of fw_cfg file names, under /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_name. Upon successful creation of all directories representing the "dirname" portion of a fw_cfg file, a symlink will be created to represent the "basename", pointing at the appropriate /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_key entry. If a file name is not suitable for this procedure (e.g., if its basename or dirname components collide with an already existing dirname component or basename, respectively) the corresponding fw_cfg blob is skipped and will remain available in sysfs only by its selector key value.
