Fair point - this list was from a non-EFI build, and EFI does add two more
files to it: xen.efi and xen.efi.map

I don't see any others being added to the stamp file -- with the possible
exception of the "disabled" file in xen/arch/x86/efi which can capture
build errors. I don't think that file will be present in production builds.

Did you have any others in mind? I'll post an updated patch with the
EFI-updated list in the meantime.
