From: Justin M. Forbes on gitlab.com Merge Request: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1771 Following Baskov Evgeniy's "Handle UEFI NX-restricted page tables" patches, it's safe to set this compatibility flag to let loaders know they don't need to make special accommodations for kernel to load if pre-boot NX is enabled. This MR includes the "Handle UEFI NX-restricted page tables" patches as well as the patch to actually set the flag in the header. They are queued for the 5.19 merge window [1], but will be needed in 5.18 for a shim build.
