[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] x86/EFI: avoid Xen image when looking for module/kexec position

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

When booting straight from EFI, we don't further try to relocate Xen.
As a result, so far we also didn't avoid the area Xen uses when looking
for a location to put modules or the kexec area. Introduce a fake
module slot to deal with that without having to fiddle with a lot of
code.
