[PATCH 3/3] ARM/arm64: efistub: perform hardware compatibility check

Before proceeding with relocating the kernel and parsing the command line,
insert a call to check_platform_features() to allow an arch specific check
to be performed whether the current kernel can execute on the current
hardware.
