> Be advised that there are ARM processors that do use EFI (some ARMv8 and aarch64 boards).  I'm not opposed to this patch but in the future it might be better to have a flag specify whether to use UEFI.

The SoftIron OverDrive 1000 boxes (aarch64) that we were just donated
use UEFI.

This might actually make porting easier since it’s pretty much
indistinguishable from x86_64/UEFI, isn’t it?
