- Why I did it
The existing grub configuration has a hardcoded "amd64" architecture in the kernel and initramfs names. This causes an error in the attempt to load the image compiled for a different architecture.
- How I did it
Use configured architecture in the GRUB config.
- How to verify it
Compile the image for Arm64 architecture and install it on the device.
This commit adds support for pensando asic called ELBA. ELBA is used in pci based cards and in smartswitches.
#### Why I did it
This commit introduces pensando platform which is based on ELBA ASIC.

- Microsoft ADO **(number only)**:
#### How I did it
Created platform/pensando folder and created makefiles specific to pensando.
This mainly creates pensando docker (which OEM's need to download before building an image) which has all the userspace to initialize and use the DPU (ELBA ASIC).
Output of the build process creates two images which can be used from ONIE and goldfw.
Recommendation is use to use ONIE.
#### How to verify it
Load the SONiC image via ONIE or goldfw and make sure the interfaces are UP.
##### Description for the changelog
Add pensando platform support.
Why I did it
Support FIPS DB configuration
Design Doc: sonic-net/SONiC#1372
Work item tracking
Microsoft ADO (number only): 24411148
How I did it
Add the FIPS Yang model to make FIPS configurable in ConfigDB.
How to verify it
See TestPlan: sonic-net/sonic-mgmt#9092
Build the image and run the tests: sonic-net/sonic-mgmt#9091
Why I did it
The demo_part_size should be initialized before creating partition.
How I did it
Move the initializing setting to the line before using it.
How to verify it
#### Why I did it
The %%EXTRA_CMDLINE_LINUX%% is not replaced to the real value, it has impact on the kernel parameter settings.
See the log sonic-vs.img.gz.log in the latest master build. In the grub.cfg, the %%EXTRA_CMDLINE_LINUX%% is set in the linux command line.

Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.

Refactors the SONiC Installer to support greater flexibility in building for a given architecture and bootloader.
#### Why I did it
Currently the SONiC installer assumes that if a platform is ARM based that it uses the `uboot` bootloader and uses the `grub` bootloader otherwise. This is not a correct assumption to make as ARM is not strictly tied to uboot and x86 is not strictly tied to grub.
#### How I did it
To implement this I introduce the following changes:
* Remove the different arch folders from the `installer/` directory
* Merge the generic components of the ARM and x86 installer into `installer/installer.sh`
* Refactor x86 + grub specific functions into `installer/default_platform.conf`
* Modify installer to call `default_platform.conf` file and also call `platform/[platform]/patform.conf` file as well to override as needed
* Update references to the installer in the `build_image.sh` script
* Add `TARGET_BOOTLOADER` variable that is by default `uboot` for ARM devices and `grub` for x86 unless overridden in `platform/[platform]/rules.mk`
* Update bootloader logic in `build_debian.sh` to be based on `TARGET_BOOTLOADER` instead of `TARGET_ARCH` and to reference the grub package in a generic manner
#### How to verify it
This has been tested on a ARM test platform as well as on Mellanox amd64 switches as well to ensure there was no impact.
#### Description for the changelog
[arm] Refactor installer and build to allow arm builds targeted at grub platforms
