The change to the last patch looks good to me by the way.
Hello, This patch series refactors the x86_64 UEFI set up process, fixes the `run-tests.sh` script to run under UEFI, and improves the boot speed under UEFI. The patches are organized as four parts. The first part (patches 1-3) refactors the x86_64 UEFI set up process. The previous UEFI setup calls arch-specific setup functions twice and generates arch-specific data structure. As Andrew suggested [1], we refactor this process to make only one call to the arch-specific function and generate arch-neutral data structures. This simplifies the set up process and makes it easier to develop UEFI support for other architectures. The second part (patch 4) converts several x86 test cases to position-independent code (PIC) to run under UEFI. This patch is ported from the initial UEFI support patchset [2] with fixes to the 32-bit compilation. The third part (patches 5-8) fixes the UEFI runner scripts. Patch 5 sets UEFI OVMF image as read-only. Patch 6 fixes test cases' return code under UEFI, enabling Patch 7-8 to fix the `run-tests.sh` script under UEFI. The fourth part (patches 9-10) improves the boot speed under UEFI. Patch 9 renames the EFI executables to EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI. UEFI OVMF recognizes this file by default and skips the 5-second user input waiting. Patch 10 makes `run-tests.sh` work with this new EFI executable filename. This patchset is based on the `uefi` branch.
