Even though support for EFI boot remains entirely optional for arm64, it is unlikely that we will ever be able to repurpose the image header fields that the EFI loader relies on, i.e., the magic NOP at offset 0x0 and the PE header address at offset 0x3c. So let's factor out the differences into a 'efi_signature_nop' macro and a local symbol representing the PE header address, and move the conditional definitions into efi-header.S, taking into account whether CONFIG_EFI is enabled or not. While at it, switch to a signature NOP that behaves more like a NOP, i.e., one that only clobbers the flags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
