We could use Vladimir's patches, if he wants to contribute those.
With the change to 32bit alignment, as Pedro tested, of course.
They apply nicely on top of the current branch, if this patch from
this github repo is also applied:

  bf7f056b "efi: Deduplicate configuration table search function"

Vladimir said that he wanted to work on these patches before they go in.

I attached them to this email, for reference, incl. the change to
32bit alignment.
