Linn, could you please provide some details of the system that you're
booting this kernel on? EDK2 does not include any checks for this
alignment requirement, which probably explains why no one else ever
caught this issue.
I can't think of any way to fix this without simply doing a revert of
commit aeffc4928ea2 ("x86/efi: Request desired alignment via the PE/COFF
headers"). Especially since that patch was an optimisation and not a bug
fix.
