Reusing PECOFF fields seems doubleplusunsafe: we don't own those fields, the UEFI forum does.  It would make a lot more sense to add these fields to the bzImage header directly or indirectly (via a pointer), the latter would be more economical since the bzImage header size is bounded.

We could even define it as a pointer to a "security information header" with its own size field, so it can be grown in the future as needed.

Reusing PECOFF fields seems doubleplusunsafe: we don't own those fields, the UEFI forum does.  It would make a lot more sense to add these fields to the bzImage header directly or indirectly (via a pointer), the latter would be more economical since the bzImage header size is bounded.

We could even define it as a pointer to a "security information header" with its own size field, so it can be grown in the future as needed.
