The kernel provides a ".compat" PE section that contains a list of compat entry points with their respective arches. This entry point does all the heavy lifting to support running 64bit kernels when the UEFI firmware is 32bit. Note that the EFI handover protocol code in linux_x86.c does not need any adjustments as it already correctly calls the 32bit handover code. Fixes: #17056
