Yep. Okay, so now we have a patch from Arnd to fix the alignment problem (so don't need alignment of the piggydata), and we have a patch to catch the additional sections. That leaves a patch to sort out the additional sections.
Do you have any preference - I'd prefer one that I can merge along with these changes? One way forward would be to temporarily add the /DISCARD/ for the ksym sections, which can then be removed once your sort() removal gets added to the EFI trees.
