[PATCH] cleanup in EFI Linux loader

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

I've been working on a pure 32-bit Linux loader that is firmware-agnostic
and can be used on coreboot (and probably others later on).  I used the EFI
Linux loader as a base.

Due to the large amount of changes, and the way EFI operates (in which it
retains control of memory management, much differently than all other
platforms), I don't think it will be possible to maintain a single loader
that can work on both EFI & the rest (unless drastic changes were performed
to the EFI port).

So I will propose to add a separate loader.  I'll send a new mail about
that later, but first I'd like to see if a few of the changes can be
harmonized with the current EFI loader, so that the code doesn't differ
so much.

I'm attaching a patch with a few minor changes that will make it easier
to move code back & forth in the future.

Since I have no EFI setup to test with, would be nice if it can be tested
as well as reviewed.
