-Subject: loader/arm64/linux: Remove magic number header field check
-
-The "ARM\x64" magic number in the file header identifies an image as one
-that implements the bare metal boot protocol, allowing the loader to
-simply move the file to a suitably aligned address in memory, with
-sufficient headroom for the trailing .bss segment (the required memory
-size is described in the header as well).
-
-Note of this matters for GRUB, as it only supports EFI boot. EFI does
-not care about this magic number, and nor should GRUB: this prevents us
-from booting other PE linux images, such as the generic EFI zboot
-decompressor, which is a pure PE/COFF image, and does not implement the
-bare metal boot protocol.
-
-So drop the magic number check.
