I forgot about this thread. I think we need it sorted in some way.

So, to be in line with 32-bit arm, the only way to tell the uncompressed
kernel image that it was started as an EFI application is via FDT.

I'm ok with the idea but I don't particularly like the implementation.
Does this look any better (functionally the same as yours)?
