Subject: [PATCH] efi: Set image base address before jumping to the PE/COFF
 entry point

Upstream GRUB uses the EFI LoadImage() and StartImage() to boot the Linux
kernel. But our custom EFI loader that supports Secure Boot instead uses
the EFI handover protocol (for x86) or jumping directly to the PE/COFF
entry point (for aarch64).

This is done to allow the bootloader to verify the images using the shim
lock protocol to avoid booting untrusted binaries.

Since the bootloader loads the kernel from the boot media instead of using
LoadImage(), it is responsible to set the Loaded Image base address before
booting the kernel.

Otherwise the kernel EFI stub will complain that it was not set correctly
and print the following warning message:

EFI stub: ERROR: FIRMWARE BUG: efi_loaded_image_t::image_base has bogus value

Resolves: rhbz#1825411
