Quite the contrary - it is essential. All major distributions are going 
for distro boot + EFI at least for 64bit platforms now. Disabling it by 
default means you basically kill your user base on those.

Nack on any change to that default line. If you must disable efi_loader 
(and really, I strongly advise not to do so for sunxi), please do so in 
the defconfigs, as nothing prohibits the architecture to work with it.
