Let's make use of the new flag whenever we access the ESP or XBOOTLDR. The resources we make use of in these partitions can't possibly use symlinks (because UEFI knows no symlink concept), and they are untrusted territory, hence under no circumstances we should be tricked into following symlinks that shouldn't be there in the first place. Of course, you might argue thta ESP/XBOOTLDR are VFAT and thus don#t know symlinks. But the thing is, they don#t have to be. Firmware can support other file systems too, and people can use efifs to gain access to arbitrary Linux file systems from EFI. Hence, let's better be safe than sorry.
