It also occurs to me that the binutils used to process the xen.efi image does not need to be the same as the one used to generate it, so there are no build-time dependencies on having this fix in place. Dropping this patch from the series doesn't affect the ability of a distribution with a new binutils from being able to build unified images, so I'm fine with abandoning it. Are there any further thoughts on the other parts of the series? -- Trammell
