Doing it that way allows setting up stricter memory attributes,
simplifies boot code path and removes potential relocation
of kernel image.

Wire up required interfaces and minimally initialize zero page
fields needed for it to function correctly.

OK I just realized that there is a problem with this approach: since
we now decompress the image while running in the EFI stub (i.e.,
before ExitBootServices()), we cannot just randomly pick a
EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY region to place the kernel, we need to
allocate the pages using the boot services. Otherwise, subsequent
allocations (or concurrent ones occurring in the firmware in event
handlers etc) may land right in the middle, which is unlikely to be
what we want.

It does allocate pages for the kernel.
I've marked the place below.
