We have had EFI loader support enabled by default on armv7 platforms for a long time now. However, there has been little uptake in the wider community to use EFI loader support as the step to start a generic OS distribution, on this architecture family and the focus has been on armv8 instead. Disable this by default for armv7 only.

OpenBSD/armv7 relies on EFI loader support as well.
Cheers.

I'm very much looking for feedback here that this is the wrong approach and that I've missed the off the shelf distributions that make use of this.
