UEFI heavily relies on so-called protocols, which are essentially tables populated with pointers to executable code, and these are invoked indirectly using BR or BLR instructions. This makes the EFI execution context vulnerable to attacks on forward edge control flow, and so it would help if we could enable hardware enforcement (BTI) on CPUs that implement it. So let's no longer disable BTI codegen for the EFI stub, and set the newly introduced PE/COFF header flag when the kernel is built with BTI landing pads.
