Ah, INIT_DATA only covers init.data.* (so no dot in front). The above
is needed for the EFI stub.

However, I gave this a quick try and under Qemu with -cpu max and -smp 2
(or more) it fails as below. I haven't debugged but the lr points to
just after the switch_to() call. Maybe some section got discarded and we
patched in the wrong instructions. It is fine with -cpu host or -smp 1.
