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:
97aa276579 ("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
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
