We've successfully UEFI-booted - GNU/Linux guest(s) on - upstream edk2 (*) and - upstream qemu-system-aarch64 with - TCG on x86_64 host, - KVM on aarch64 host (**) (*) Ard's patches for upstream edk2 are in the process of being tested / merged. (**) Ard's patches for the upstream host kernel (== KVM) have been... ugh, not sure... applied to a maintainer tree? Ard? :) So, it works (as far as I tested it myself on TCG, and heard reports about it on KVM), but right now you need to apply a handful of pending patches manually. We can certainly talk about Aarch64 at the BoF, but then Ard should co-organize. No good deed goes unpunished, as ever! :) Cheers, Laszlo
