Do we really need the .org? We expect all the other fields to stay in place without one, and it seems odd to special-case the PE header. Otherwise, this looks good to me.

But the PE header offset is the only header field that covered by a requirement that goes beyond what we stipulate ourselves, so it makes sense to make that explicit imo. However, I'm happy to drop it if people disagree. > Otherwise, this looks good to me. > Cheers,

After having split off the PE header, clean up the bits that remain: use .long consistently, merge two adjacent #ifdef CONFIG_EFI blocks, fix the offset of the PE header pointer and remove the redundant .align that follows it. Also, since we will be eliminating all open coded constants from the EFI header in subsequent patches, let's replace the open coded "ARM\x64" magic number with its .ascii equivalent. No changes to the resulting binary image are intended.
