With IPC4 each DSP loadable binary is a library, which contains ext_manifest section and loadable modules. The basefw is no exception, it is always library 0 and it can contain several modules, depending on the firmware build. The current code assumes only one binary, which is the basefw and has no concept of libraries. This patch introduces the library+modules abstraction and represents the basefw as library for the IPC4 loader codebase. The basefw loading and handling is not changing, it is still done by the generic code, but it's information is cloned under the library representation. The libraries are managed via XArray to offload the list and ID management.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
