Thank you for carefully documenting your enhancement.

Unfortunately this does not build with 'make htmldocs'. (You will need
python3-sphinx with a version < 3 for building due to incompatible
changes in python3-sphinx.)

Warning, treated as error:
doc/board/emulation/qemu-arm.rst:137:Unexpected indentation.
make[1]: *** [doc/Makefile:69: htmldocs] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:2167: htmldocs] Error 2

Please, run your series through Travis CI before resubmitting.

Takahiro's patches have been added to origin/next. So this is what your
series should be based on until the next is merged into master in January.

I am missing a documentation for mkeficapsule. Could you, please, try to
set one up together with Takahiro. I guess we should create a new
directory doc/tools/.

Best regards

Heinrich
