+ Select this in order to include support for the deprecated EFI
+ handover protocol, which defines alternative entry points into the
+ EFI stub. This is a practice that has no basis in the UEFI
+ specification, and requires a priori knowledge on the part of the
+ bootloader about Linux/x86 specific ways of passing the command line
+ and initrd, and where in memory those assets may be loaded.

+ If in doubt, say Y. Even though the corresponding support is not

+ GRUB with numerous downstream patches applied, and may rely on the
+ handover protocol as as result.
