This patchset fleshes out EFI_LOADER enough to support booting an upstream \EFI\BOOT\bootaa64.efi (which then loads fallback.efi and then eventually the per-distro shim.efi which loads the per-distro grubaa64.efi) without resorting to hacks to hard-code u-boot to load a particular distro's grub, or other hacks like setting up the distro installation as live-media.
The first seven patches add dependencies that will be needed later in the series. Patches 8-15 make u-boot work with upstream grub, without relying on distro patches. Patches 16-19 add missing bits of the UEFI implementation needed to support shim/fallback. And finally patch 20 adds bootmanager support to avoid shim/fallback after first boot.
In concept, I am in agreement with the goals of this patch series. In specifics, I'm going to skim around v0 and see if there's anything in particular that I feel I need to jump in and comment on at this point. Thanks for working on this!
