x86/efi: Include a .bss section within the PE/COFF headers (2014-07-10 14:21:39 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Remove a duplicate copy of linux_banner from the arm64 EFI stub
which, apart from reducing code duplication also stops the arm64 stub
being rebuilt every time make is invoked - Ard Biesheuvel
* Fix the EFI fdt code to not report a boot error if UEFI is
unavailable since booting without UEFI parameters is a valid use case
for non-UEFI platforms - Catalin Marinas
* Include a .bss section in the EFI boot stub PE/COFF headers to fix a
memory corruption bug - Michael Brown
