We have had EFI loader support enabled by default on armv7 platforms for

distribution, on this architecture family and the focus has been on
armv8 instead.  Disable this by default for armv7 only.

NAK

Please, read https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/uEFIforARMv7.

OpenBSD and FreeBSD rely on UEFI for booting.

I'm very much looking for feedback here that this is the wrong approach
and that I've missed the off the shelf distributions that make use of
this.
