Since arm64 does not use a builtin decompressor, the EFI stub is built into the kernel proper. So far, this has been working fine, but actually, since the stub is in fact a PE/COFF relocatable binary that is executed at an unknown offset in the 1:1 mapping provided by the UEFI firmware, we should not be seamlessly sharing code with the kernel proper, which is a position dependent executable linked at a high virtual offset. So instead, separate the contents of libstub and its dependencies, by putting them into their own namespace by prefixing all of its symbols with __efistub. This way, we have tight control over what parts of the kernel proper are referenced by the stub.
