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. --david
