"A unified kernel image is a single EFI PE executable combining an EFI stub loader, a kernel image, an initramfs image, and the kernel command line. [...] Images of this type have the advantage that all metadata and payload that makes up the boot entry is monopolized in a single PE file that can be signed cryptographically as one for the purpose of EFI SecureBoot."[1] This commit adds a create-unified-kernel-image=true option to the bootimg-efi plugin for creating a Unified Kernel Image[1] and installing it into $BOOT/EFI/Linux/ with a .efi extension per the the Boot Loader Specification[1][2]. This is useful for implementing Secure Boot. systemd-boot is the only mainstream bootloader implementing the specification, but GRUB should be able to boot the EFI binary, this commit however doesn't implement the necessary changes to the GRUB config generation logic to boot the Unified Kernel Image.
