That won't stop broken bootloaders from jumping to $handover_offset
anyway. Anyone who was daft enough to implement EFI boot stub in their
bootloader *despite* its obvious brokenness, rather than insisting on
fixing it before it could be considered usable, will still be jumping
into hyperspace. I have little sympathy for them, but I'm told we need
to care.

It'd probably be better to just mark CONFIG_EFI_STUB as 'depends on
BROKEN' for 32-bit.

Or, and perhaps this is heresy, merge the patches which bloody fix it?
