Hm, I was wrong, we don't need that.

I thought the EFI stub isolation patches create a copy of mem*() functions in the stub,
but they are just create aliases with __efistub_ prefix.

We only need to create some more aliases for KASAN.
The following patch on top of the EFI stub isolation series works for me.
