From: Frediano Ziglio <frediano.ziglio@cloud.com>

Currently .init section is both writeable and executable, split data and code
to have 2 sections satisfying W^X rule.

It is a requirement for NX_COMPAT so the PE can be loaded with W^X perms
in the pagetables.

NX_COMPAT is a requirement from shim-review,
https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review#do-you-have-the-nx-bit-set-in-your-shim-if-so-is-your-entire-boot-stack-nx-compatible-and-what-testing-have-you-done-to-ensure-such-compatibility
