Hmm... does this function really belong in efi-stub-helper.c? That file
should be for architecture independent functionality only.

While it currently does include this little snippet,

#ifdef CONFIG_ARM
	/*
	 * For ARM, allocate at a high address to avoid reserved
	 * regions at low addresses that we don't know the specfics of
	 * at the time we are processing the command line.
	 */
	status = efi_high_alloc(sys_table_arg, options_size, 0,
			    &cmdline_addr, 0xfffff000);
#else
	status = efi_low_alloc(sys_table_arg, options_size, 0,
			    &cmdline_addr);
#endif

I think that single #ifdef is justifiable. But including entire
functions that are only used by ARM/ARM64 or x86 isn't.
