This makes CSH images being accepted again:

But then my changes to efi_capsule_update are missing the present the
right format to the loader. As efi_capsule_update needs to lay out the
sg-list in as special way, excluding the CSH on the first page, it needs
to know about the displacement.

Any suggestions how to address that without rolling back to my aproach?
