    Just to be clear, it requires enabling of `CONFIG_EFI_STUB`
configuration variable right?

    Because although I'm using one of the pre-release versions of
`6.02` which should support x32 kernel loading (with x64 UEFI) it
still doesn't work for me.  (Although I haven't fiddle too much with
it.)
