[PATCH v7 03/22] x86/efistub: Branch straight to kernel entry point from C code

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

Instead of returning to the calling code in assembler that does nothing
more than perform an indirect call with the boot_params pointer in
register ESI/RSI, perform the jump directly from the EFI stub C code.
This will allow the asm entrypoint code to be dropped entirely in
subsequent patches.
