Title:
  Support for kernels compiled with CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Arm64 kernels compiled with CONFIG_EFI_ZBOOT=y don't use the
  ARM64_IMAGE_MAGIC ('ARM\x64') but LINUX_PE_MAGIC (0x818223cd) in the
  PE Header. Our GRUB fails to boot such a kernel.

  We should eliminate the following check:

  grub-core/loader/efi/linux.c:75:
    if (lh->magic != GRUB_LINUX_ARCH_MAGIC_SIGNATURE)
      return grub_error(GRUB_ERR_BAD_OS, "invalid magic number");

  This will allow any EFI binary to be run using the linux command.
