That won't stop broken bootloaders from jumping to $handover_offset anyway. Anyone who was daft enough to implement EFI boot stub in their bootloader *despite* its obvious brokenness, rather than insisting on fixing it before it could be considered usable, will still be jumping into hyperspace. I have little sympathy for them, but I'm told we need to care. It'd probably be better to just mark CONFIG_EFI_STUB as 'depends on BROKEN' for 32-bit. Or, and perhaps this is heresy, merge the patches which bloody fix it? -- dwmw2
