[Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/3] x86/EFI: don't accept 64-bit base relocations on page tables

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

Page tables get pre-populated with physical addresses which, due to
living inside the Xen image, will never exceed 32 bits in width. That
in turn results in the tool generating the relocations to produce
32-bit relocations for them instead of the 64-bit ones needed for
relocating virtual addresses. Hence instead of special casing page
tables in the processing of 64-bit relocations, let's be more rigid
and refuse them (as being indicative of something else having gone
wrong in the build process).
