Pull EFI fixes from Ard Biesheuvel:
"A few minor fixes for EFI, one of which fixes the reported boot
regression when booting x86 kernels using the BIOS based loader built
into the hypervisor framework on macOS.
- fix harmless warning in zboot code on 'make clean'
- add some missing prototypes
- fix boot regressions triggered by PE/COFF header image minor
version bump"
