Heh, nice answer, yet my observation was on the lines of:

"written from the perspective of a U-Boot developer/user vs the
perspective of an EFI developer/user"

IOW it was not clear to me if the jargon EFI payload / EFI app was
limited to the U-Boot world or not. Now I know that it is :-)

yes, at least in the stub.c file it is clearly visible that the
console output can be routed either to the serial port or to the
screen.

It might be worth mentioning under which circumstances this happen in
a certain way and under which circumstances it happen in another way,
if it's something that is specific to EFI.
