Subject: [PATCH] EFI: allocate kernel in EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE instead of

 EFI_LOADER_DATA.

On some of the firmwares with more security mitigations, EFI_LOADER_DATA

doesn't get you executable memory, and we take a fault and reboot when

we enter kernel.

This patch correctly allocates the kernel code as EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE

rather than EFI_LOADER_DATA.
