These patches improve support for Secure boot.
UEFI CA memory mitigation requires memory pages to be not executable and
writable at the same time. So changing permissions and splitting some section
is required.
Remove multiboot pieces from EFI executable.
Changes since v1:
- improved some comments;
- merged 2 pacthes removing multiboot support in x86 PE;
- removed a patch dealing with SBAT;
- other minor changes (see single patches).
