I will take a look.

Current mainline status of the EFI stuff is:

1. EFI application does not boot
2. EFI 32-bit payload boots fine
3. EFI 64-bit payload does not boot
4. i386-linux-gcc compiler does not build EFI 64-bit payload, but can
build 32-bit payload and application
5. x86_64-linux-gcc compiler can build everything

Bin
