So I learned a little more meanwhile - it's not that trivial: I'm told

the shim uses UEFI services to do the verification, and those
services only handle PE images. But we obviously can't reasonably
expect the Dom0 kernel to be packaged as PE image, as that
would then be unusable as DomU kernel (on older hosts at least,
i.e. even if we added a PE loader to libxc).

Sorry for the n00b question, but what's a PE image in this context?
