11 * There are two ways of populating the core kernel's struct screen_info via the stub:
12 * - using a configuration table, like below, which relies on the EFI init code
13 * to locate the table and copy the contents;
14 * - by linking directly to the core kernel's copy of the global symbol.
16 * The latter is preferred because it makes the EFIFB earlycon available very
17 * early, but it only works if the EFI stub is part of the core kernel image
18 * itself. The zboot decompressor can only use the configuration table
