This series allows to boot linux kernels and other efi binaries via
direct kernel load with secure boot enabled.
The series adds two new fw_cfg files: 'etc/boot/kernel' contains the
kernel without modifications (no setup header patching), and
'etc/boot/shim' contains shim.
The path to the shim binary can be passed to qemu using the new '-shim'
command line switch.
This needs a companion patch series for tianocore which will put the new
fw_cfg files into use, a draft of that series can be found here:
https://github.com/kraxel/edk2/commits/devel/direct-secure-boot/
With everything in place it is possible to use direct kernel load with
secure boot enabled.
take care,
Gerd
