> 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=E2=80=99s pretty much
indistinguishable from x86_64/UEFI, isn=E2=80=99t it?
