[Buildroot] EFI handover support

[Buildroot] EFI handover support

[a]

Hi,
Does anyone know how to enable EFI handover support for a kernel file?
I am using GRUB 2 in EFI mode and when my kernel image(bzImage) is loaded it
throws an error saying "Kernel doesn't support EFI handover".
Any clue how to move ahead with this?

Do you have CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y enabled? E.G. the functionality to build
the kernel as an EFI executable.

Hi, 
I figured that needs to be set, but couldn't find that variable anywhere in
the buildroot. 
I'm not able to find it, can you please help me with that?

CONFIG_EFI_STUB is a kernel configuration option, not a Buildroot
option. Run `make linux-menuconfig' to change the Linux configuration
options.
