[    0.000000] tboot: non-0 tboot_addr 0x6b7369642065766f but it is not of type 
E820_RESERVED

In both cases, the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y.

tboot_addr is at offset 88.  Offset 64 is an ASCII string that says:
"Use a boot loader.

Remove disk and press any key to reboot..."

and is from arch/x86/boot/header.S, which is placing that string
at offset 64 (0x3c + 4) from .bstext (which precedes .bsdata) if
CONFIG_EFI_STUB is true.

#ifdef CONFIG_EFI_STUB
         .org    0x3c
         #
         # Offset to the PE header.
         #
         .long   pe_header
#endif /* CONFIG_EFI_STUB */

         .section ".bsdata", "a"
bugger_off_msg:
         .ascii  "Use a boot loader.\r\n"
         .ascii  "\n"
         .ascii  "Remove disk and press any key to reboot...\r\n"
         .byte   0


Most likely the "linuxefi" boot method uses the EFI handover protocol, however. It looks like they don't start with a properly zeroed structure...
