Make sure you have CONFIG_EFI and CONFIG_EFI_STUB set for your kernel.
Put the kernel image in a filesystem that can be read by the EFI firmware or
has a driver for it.
Boot into the EFI shell. I do this via rEFIt.
cd to the location of the kernel then execute it by typing it's name. Kernel
parameters can be listed after the kernel name.

OK. So you haven't actually said, but you must be booting via Grub either in
EFI mode or BIOS compatiability mode. Neither of those will work in extracting
the AtomBIOS from the configurations. It needs to be done before calling
ExitBootServices() in EFI mode and Grub isn't set up to do anything this
tricky. Hence you have to use the inbuilt kernel loader in the EFI stub code.
