Ahh I see. I was not sure how to use the debug feature :). Can we do
the same in U-boot ?

How about adding it back later once I can verify it with EDK2 ?

Sorry. I should have removed the comment. We keep the the _start and
.head.text section aligned to a PAGE_SIZE anyways using the linker
script.

There should have been a "j _start_kernel" after the "MZ" ascii. I just
tested EFI kernel can now boot as a normal kernel as well with that
change. Thanks for pointing that out.
