b82c253b24 Add a kernel patch for the efi boot stub to read a config file when booted without arguments, and base removable media booting off of that patch
The patch is currently being discussed on LKML and hopefully will be included
in mainline in some form in the future. Note that booting from the livecd has
to do a lot of work before anything is output to the console, so if the drive
is still busy don't assume the boot has hanged

001fcad421 First shot at EFI booting.
Note: This feature is INCOMPLETE. Moreover, when runEfibootmgr is true it will
MODIFY NVRAM and, on Apple systems, possibly brick your firmware. PLEASE be
careful while further testing is performed
