With the patch the status code and its mnemonic is printed.

While I think it's very useful to have the status code, I don't want to
waste 1kb of .rodata on every binary out there - that will only drive more
people to disable CONFIG_EFI_LOADER which is the opposite of what we want.
Can you please respin without the string return for now? Maybe we can add a
CONFIG_EFI_LOADER_DEBUG option later on which gives us verbose printing on
demand on a few more bits.
I think the error messages are useful and would like to see this new
option. Bonus points if they can be in lower case :-)
Ah, one thing I forgot to mention:
If we want to revive the string conversion, it's probably a good idea to
do it using macros. Something like
#define EFI_STATUS_CASE(x) case x: return stringify(x)
switch(status_code) {
EFI_STATUS_CASE(EFI_SUCCESS);
EFI_STATUS_CASE(EFI_amazing_error);
}
#undef EFI_STATUS_CASE
That way we don't repeat the code twice ;).
