Hi.

I have a question about GFW startup procedure.

Although I don't fully understand tianocore liking mechanism,
efi-vfirmware.hg/edk2-sparse/EdkXenPkg/SecMain/Ipf/startup.s
is compiled into startup.bin and is symbolic linked as ResetVect.cat.
Finally it is placed in ROM area and _start is executed in place.

Is the above correct?
If so, Is using [_stack_start, _stack_end) as stack correct?
