Subject: [PATCH] nx: set the nx compatible flag in EFI grub images
For NX, we need the grub binary to announce that it is compatible with
the NX feature. This implies that when loading the executable grub
image, several attributes are true:
- the binary doesn't need an executable stack
- the binary doesn't need sections to be both executable and writable
- the binary knows how to use the EFI Memory Attributes protocol on code
it is loading.
This patch adds a definition for the PE DLL Characteristics flag
GRUB_PE32_NX_COMPAT, and changes grub-mkimage to set that flag.
