Btw., this means that we first try to allocate the trampoline the old fashioned 
way, and in the rare cases this fails we allocate it from the EFI data area, 
right?

This is problematic from the probability management POV: we are creating a rare 
piece of code that will run only on a select few systems.

I think it would be much better to allocate the trampoline from the EFI area on 
all EFI systems by default. Is there any reason why that would not work?

Thanks,
