Several Linux distributions are getting UEFI support ironed out now,
so UEFI can be used without a CSM.  QEMU support for UEFI could
help the Linux distributions to enable UEFI support...

Windows Vista and 7 support UEFI on x64-64, but I've not been able

might not be initializing correctly, but the root cause of the failure is n=
ot
