So another issue I've found in the series is that xen/xen.gz is loadable
with MB2 but xen.efi is not but includes the MB2 header so I detect it
as a valid MB2 module. There's no entry point advertised in the xen.efi
case.

I think we'd probably just leave off the MB2 header for xen.efi and
leave that as a plain EFI loader case.
