Oh, I'm obviously totally in favor of that, too.  It's convincing
Marcelo/Linus which may (or may not) be the hard part.  The best
argument for getting this into the linux directory would be if you can
say that x86 machine XYZ will be shipping with EFI.  But even short of
that, the fact that we already have the partition support there may be
sufficient.  So, I'd say: go for it.
