I don't think that easily possible, as the layout need to stay compatible with in-place extraction for non-UEFI boot. For that execution path the code in .head.text moves everything behind it to the end of the extraction buffer and extraction code overwrites compressed kernel blob progressively during extraction. And that is why we have effectively have two code sections...

Will fix in v5.
