Subject: [PATCH 10/13] efi/arm*: Perform hardware compatibility check

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@...aro.org>

Before proceeding with relocating the kernel and parsing the command line,
insert a call to check_platform_features() to allow an arch specific check
to be performed whether the current kernel can execute on the current
hardware.
