OK, I'll add that.

Most of the stuff should be common with arm32, although I haven't
tried it.  The main thing
missing for arm32 is the PE/COFF header.  I'm not intending to build
the EFI stuff for arm32, but
it's possible I've borked the build - I forgot to try that on this patchset.

I'll add the proper number of blank lines :)

Yup, I'll fix that.

OK.  That will save a cast, and the value in the register is the same.

I will update this (along with the alignment requested in the PE/COFF
header) and give it a spin.

I'm hoping this is in good enough shape for 4.5 - I should be able to
address all the feedback received so far quite quickly.
Should I wait for more feedback, or prepare an updated patchset
addressing the feedback so far?

Thanks,
