We have tested internally backport of this patch series and only one SYSLINUX bug surfaced until now. This is Multiboot implementation issue which have to be fixed at some point in SYSLINUX. However, it only manifests with ELF files (e.g. xen.gz) if some ELF addresses are not in line with addresses in Multiboot header (this happened due to not intended incorrect .efi.pe.header section placement; patch series posted here does not have this issue). So, this does not apply to xen.efi and everything works as expected.
