Yes, there's work on the EFI_LOADER side of things to support the use
case of "boot to menu" (or, "boot to efi bootmgr") of which this is the
starting point. The follow-up work that I'm hoping you or someone else
with more EFI_LOADER experience will pick up is splitting cmd/bootefi.c
such that we can call in to starting an EFI payload (or bootmgr) without
the command line.
