Commit 9f9223778 ("efi/libstub/arm: Make efi_entry() an ordinary PE/COFF
entrypoint") modified the handover code written in assembler, and for
maintainability, aligned the logic with the logic used in the 32-bit ARM
version, which is to avoid cache maintenance on the remaining instructions
in the subroutine that will be executed with the MMU and caches off, and
instead, branch into the relocated copy of the kernel image.
However, this assumes that this copy is executable, and this means we
expect EFI_LOADER_DATA regions to be executable as well, which is not
a reasonable assumption to make, even if this is true for most UEFI
implementations today.
So change this back, and add a __clean_dcache_area_poc() call to cover
the remaining code in the subroutine. While at it, switch the other
call site over to __clean_dcache_area_poc() as well, and clean up the
terminology in comments to avoid using 'flush' in the context of cache
maintenance. Also, let's switch to the new style asm annotations.

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.
