Yeah. I'll try to come up with a way to consolidate this a bit across architectures (which is a bit easier now that all of the EFI stub C code lives in the same place). It is probably easiest to use a section renaming trick similar to the one I added for ARM (as Arvind suggested as well, IIRC), and get rid of the per-symbol annotations altogether.
