Do you mean
"is not currently supported on x86 in conjunction with EFI_STUB"
or do you mean
"still has bugs on x86"?

On qemu-x86_defconfig I can start EFI applications like the
helloworld.efi and ipxe. It is only the Linux kernel that has a problem
with memory setup. That is of cause a bug that needs further attention.

Best regards
