hmm, odd.. it is only adding some #define's and structs that are not
used until a later commit..

although it does also make 'struct efi_device_path_mac_addr' __packed,
which it should have been before.  Is this an armv7?  I wonder if we
have some troubles with unaligned accesses on armv7 that we don't have
on aarch64 (or maybe compiler isn't turning access to device-path
nodes into byte accesses if it can't do unaligned accesses.  (The node
in the device-path structure are byte-packed.)

addr2line the faulting address I guess should confirm that.  If this
is the issue, it's going to be a bit sad since we'll have to do a lot
of copying back/forth of efi_device_path ptrs to aligned addresses :-/

BR,
