@ This is a two-instruction NOP, which happens to bear the
@ PE/COFF signature "MZ" in the first two bytes, so the kernel
@ is accepted as an EFI binary. Booting via the UEFI stub
@ will not execute those instructions, but the ARM/Linux
@ boot protocol does, so we need some NOPs here.

@ The PE header can be anywhere in the file, but for

@ The offset to the PE/COFF header needs to be at offset
@ 0x3C in the MSDOS header.
@ The only 2 fields of the MSDOS header that are used are this
@ PE/COFF offset, and the "MZ" bytes at offset 0x0.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `linux/pe.h`, `linux/sizes.h`.
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/arm.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
