Hi Ingo, Hans Peter, Matt, Jordan,

Commit 2e064b1 (Fix issue of overlapping .reloc section for EFI_STUB)
breaks EFI boot on my MacBookAir3,1. The efi firmware no longer
recognizes the bzImage and falls back to BIOS emulation boot.

Reverting 2e064b1 works for me, but I am happy to test other options
as well.

Thanks,
Henrik
