If you pull from the latest patches out of gerrit I've added some uefi 
installation bits. It works on usb, but I'm having issues verifying that 
it works on actual hard drives. Feel free to give it a shot at let me 
know if it works since it could just be the drives I'm testing with. For 
now the bootloader is placed in /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI once further 
testing is completed with efibootmgr adding entries it will be updated.
