Nothing in particular. I had them in upper-case in the previous version,
changed it here ;) for absolutely no reason. I could switch it back.

Given Jeremy's suggestion to add something to the EFI stub, I will retain
the original definition with all upper-case and define it somewhere in
a header so that we can reuse it.

Yes, we should.

Thanks for the review
