[PATCH v2 00/14] arm64+ARM: efi: PE/COFF cleanup/hardening

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This cleans up the PE/COFF EFI header, by taking some of Mark's patches
and use them to replace open coded constants with symbolic ones, and
remove incorrect values or unused sections.

Finally, it updates the section layout so that the kernel Image can be
mapped in a way that does not require setting RWX permissions anywhere.
Note that this is currently not a huge win, given that most current UEFI
implementations map all of RAM RWX by default, but this is finally gaining
some attention, and work is underway to make the PE/COFF loader in EDK2
adhere to the section permissions, which would also allow the RAM mapping
to default to non-executable. Work in progress nonetheless...

Changes since v1:
- added missing secondary SOB on Mark's patches
- leave Image header as before, only move the PE header to a separate file
- put PE header fixes in a separate patch
- add acks from Mark and Peter (#6)
- give ARM the same treatment as arm64 (#10 - #13)
- add NB10 PE debuglink entry to ARM PE/COFF header as well (#9, #14)
