lib/sys/module: Add support for weak symbols
We need a means of allowing Syslinux derivative-specific functions to remain unresolved when there is no implementation for them. For example, unload_pxe() is referenced by common code in com32/lib, but is only implemented for PXELINUX. By marking unload_pxe() as __weak we can substitute references with the undefined_symbol() function for SYSLINUX, EXTLINUX and ISOLINUX. Provided that those references are never executed everything works fine. However, if code calls actually calls unload_pxe() from SYSLINUX, EXTLINUX or ISOLINUX an error message is displayed and execution is halted. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
