Wouldn't it make more sense to just pass "bootargs" to the EFI payload
as command line arguments?

We could then just

  U-Boot# setenv bootargs list
  U-Boot# bootefi selftest

to list the available self tests. Same for selecting them.

That way we would also be able to directly load Linux as EFI binary and
pass command line arguments to it without jumping through fdt patching
hoops.
