Implement a minimal EFI app that decompresses the real kernel image and launches it using the firmware's LoadImage and StartImage boot services. This removes the need for any arch-specific hacks. Note that on systems that have UEFI secure boot policies enabled, LoadImage/StartImage require images to be signed, or their hashes known a priori, in order to be permitted to boot. There are various possible strategies to work around this requirement, but they all rely either on overriding internal PI/DXE protocols (which are not part of the EFI spec) or omitting the firmware provided LoadImage() and StartImage() boot services, which is also undesirable, given that they encapsulate platform specific policies related to secure boot and measured boot, but also related to memory permissions (whether or not and which types of heap allocations have both write and execute permissions.) The only generic and truly portable way around this is to simply sign both the inner and the outer image with the same key/cert pair, so this is what is implemented here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
