Thanks a lot for the fast reply! That patch was really helpful. I'll try to extract the parts that are relevant for grub-efi support while keeping other bootloaders in mind. Hoping to largely piggy-back on the regular grub stuff for grub-efi, as it only needs two extra lines in grub.cfg and adding "--bootloader-id=GNU" "--efi-directory=<boot-dir>" to the grub-install command.
