efi_loader: remove comparisons to string literals from runtime
For EFI runtime services, we manage to preserve string literals by placing the .efi_runtime section just before .data and preserving it when marking the runtime memory by marking surrounding boottime code as runtime. This is ok for now but will break if we update any linker scripts and decouple .text and .runtime sections. So let's define the strings we used to compare in the appropriate section for runtime services Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Mark Kettenis <kettenis@openbsd.org>
