[RFC PATCH 0/1] zboot: Garbage collect unused functions

[Alexandre Ghiti]

This patch is meant to solve the issue reported by lkp in [1] with the KASLR
series support for RISC-V.

The problem in [1] is caused by the addition of new functions in
efi-stub-helper.c which reference symbols that are not defined in the context
of zboot. Those functions are not used in zboot but it causes those link
errors.

I can move those new functions around so that the problem disappears, but I
believe that fixing that using the linker garbage collection is more sane.

That's an RFC, I'll include it in my KASLR series if that's the right
direction.
