The LinuxLoader application is a deprecated development tool that allowed Linux kernels to be booted on ARM or arm64 before proper OS loader functionality had been implemented. Now that this is the case, both in GRUB and in the respective kernel trees, we should no longer be using the LinuxLoader, which means it certainly does not belong in a reference code base such as Tiancore. So replace or remove existing references (#1, #2) before deleting the code altogether (#3)
