This part of the patch looks wrong. The efi-ia32 platform (i.e. 32-bit firmware; note that this is *not* about which OS architecture is in use) is in fact suitable for only very few modern PCs; IIRC there were a few others beyond just Intel Macs, though I think Intel Macs were still the majority sold. The changes look more accurate for the efi-amd64 platform (i.e. 64-bit firmware). -- Colin Watson (he/him) [[email protected]]
