The method used to work out whether we were booted by EFI firmware or via a boot loader is broken. Because efi_main() is always executed when booting from a boot loader we will dereference invalid pointers either on the stack (CONFIG_X86_32) or contained in %rdx (CONFIG_X86_64) when searching for an EFI System Table signature. Instead of dereferencing these invalid system table pointers, add a new entry point that is only used when booting from EFI firmware, when we know the pointer arguments will be valid. With this change legacy boot loaders will no longer execute efi_main(), but will instead skip EFI stub initialisation completely.
