ARM Ltd has decided to back uEFI as their recommended bootloader for
ARMv8, and some level of sources are available in the tree that Linaro
maintains.  For U-Boot, I've had at least one inquiry about having
aarch64 for U-boot and wanting to contribute the port, so something
should happen, sooner rather than later.  The biggest hurdle is that I
believe none of the emulators/etc are available for no-cost use, but I
could be mistaken.
