Mostly looks good. One comment below:

The "on exit target address" is a little bit confusing IMO.

On exit, @image_addr is updated to the target copy address that was used.
? or some other better description?
Thanks.

Applied to efi/next with Randy's suggestion folded in
Heinrich: I folded the first few hunks into the respective changes of
yours that were already queued up
