Enable EFI so that standard UEFI boot loaders can be used. #235

On ARM it is usually U-Boot that acts as a UEFI provider, and both U-Boot and GRUB can act as UEFI apps. However, for them to load the kernel, the kernel must have EFI enabled.

Although this may not be used by Beagleboard itself, it is used by downstream projects, such as Mender, to provide standardized boot and rollback methods.

I'm not sure what the policy is with regards to versions. Do I just cherry-pick and submit to all the active ones?
