As far as I could figure out, '-read_only_relocs suppress' does the
same thing as '-z notext' on the GNU linker, and permits the code to
be built with the absolute relocations in the .text section.

AFAICT, this means we don't need the runtime fixups, nor do we need to
move that code out of .text

i'll respin the series I sent out earlier today with that if I manage
to build a working OVMF.fd with XCODE5
