This patch series removes the need for annotating global data in the EFI
stub with __efistub_global for ARM32 and X86.
This is done by renaming the .data and .bss sections in the object files
linked into the EFI stub to .data.efistub and .bss.efistub respectively,
and including those sections into the compressed kernel's .data section
using its linker script.
Changes from v1:
- drop patch 2 and squash patches 3 and 5 for x86
- fix R_X86 -> R_386
- only check native relocation size (32-bit for R386 and 64-bit for
RX86_64)
The series is based on efi/next, rebased onto v5.7-rc1, plus two earlier
fixes for x86 EFI that are queued for v5.7.
