The header flag XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G will inform us whether allocations above 4 GiB for kernel, command line, etc are permitted, so we take it into account when calling efi_allocate_pages() etc. However, CONFIG_EFI_STUB implies CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, and so the flag is guaranteed to be set on x86_64 builds, whereas i386 builds are guaranteed to run under firmware that will not allocate above 4 GB in the first place. So drop the check, and just pass ULONG_MAX as the upper bound for all allocations.
