Subject: x86/boot: Set EFI handover offset directly in header asm
To: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Message-ID: <20240419081105.3817596-35-ardb+git@xxxxxxxxxx>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Commit eac956345f99dda3d68f4ae6cf7b494105e54780 upstream ]
The offsets of the EFI handover entrypoints are available to the
assembler when constructing the header, so there is no need to set them
from the build tool afterwards.
This change has no impact on the resulting bzImage binary.
