Given that it requires the 'guarded' attribute to be set in the page
tables, and the fact that the UEFI spec does not require it for
executables that it invokes, nor describes any means of annotating
such executables as having been built with BTI annotations, I think we
can safely assume that the EFI stub will execute with BTI disabled in
the foreseeable future.
