Add EFI support to the installer. This requires that the kernel provide
a sysctl to determine what firmware is in use. This sysctl does not exist
yet, so the following blocks are in front of the wheels:
- I've provisionally called this "hw.platform" after the equivalent thing
  on PPC
- The logic to check the sysctl is short-circuited to always choose BIOS.
  There's a comment in the top of the file about how to turn this off.

If IA64 acquired a boot1.efifat-like thing (probably with very few
modifications), the same code could be adapted there.
