This series makes a number of improvements to the EFI app. Mostly it
applies to x86 but the ARM version will share some improvements.
The main updates are:
- Improve linker scripts and options to detect missing symbols and
remove unused code
- Enable bootstd and provide a default which can find an extlinux OS on
EFI media
- Make the 32/64-bit apps more similar in terms of features and link
script
