[Bug 2057679] Re: systemd-stub fails to boot when loaded via peimage

[Mate Kukri]

** Description changed:

  systemd-stub fails to boot when loaded via peimage.
  
  This is because peimage internally allocates an ImageHandle for images
  it starts and loads. systemd-stub  will then pass its own ImageHandle as
  ParentImageHandle to the firmware's LoadImage() function to load and
  start the embedded Linux kernel.
  
  The UEFI spec doesn't elaborate on this being allowed or not, but it
- seems like edk2 firmwares try to locate private data attached to such a
- ParentImageHandle, then asserts.
+ seems like edk2 based firmwares try to locate private data attached to
