commit ae835a96d72cd025421910edb0e8faf706998727 upstream.
This is a partial revert of commit
8117961d98f ("x86/efi: Disregard setup header of loaded image")
which triggers boot issues on older Dell laptops. As it turns out,
switching back to a heap allocation for the struct boot_params
constructed by the EFI stub works around this, even though it is unclear
why.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
