[ Upstream commit 81a34892c2c7c809f9c4e22c5ac936ae673fb9a2 ]
The load address is compared with LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR using a signed
comparison currently (using jge instruction).
When loading a 64-bit kernel using the new efi32_pe_entry() point added by:
97aa276579b2 ("efi/x86: Add true mixed mode entry point into .compat section")
using Qemu with -m 3072, the firmware actually loads us above 2Gb,
resulting in a very early crash.
Use the JAE instruction to perform a unsigned comparison instead, as physical
addresses should be considered unsigned.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
