Subject: Disable erroneous efi memory descriptor version message 
References: bnc#867785c5
Git-commit: 3e5443fffb2c311a61fe157be25b80de53329604
Signed-off-by: Tony Jones <tonyj@suse.de>
 
On non-EFI systems, efi_info section of boot_params is zero filled resulting 
in an erroneous message from kexec regarding "efi memory descriptor" version.

Caused by commit: e1ffc9e9a0769e1f54185003102e9bec428b84e8 "Passing efi related 
data via setup_data"

# kexec -l --reuse-cmdline --initrd=/boot/initrd-`uname -r` /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
efi memory descriptor version 0 is not supported!
