Palmer,

As discussed, below are the changes for v5.8 that can be taken via the
RISC-V tree to implement booting RISC-V Linux from EFI firmware.

You can fetch and merge the signed tag directly, or merge 22090f84bc3f80
and cherry pick the 4 patches on top of it, if you see any need to do so
(but please use a topic branch in that case)

Please be aware (as is noted in the tag) that these changes are really
the bare minimum that is needed to launch the kernel from EFI firmware.
In the current state, you may be able to boot from Uboot in EFI mode,
but Tianocore based boot will not work at all, unless you convert the
EFI memory map back to DT memory nodes in the firmware implementation,
and I can assure you that that is not something that will be accepted in
upstream Tianocore.

So in summary, this is unfinished work, and I can only recommend merging
these changes once there is a plan in place to complete the implementation.

  RISC-V: Add EFI stub support. (2020-04-25 13:59:54 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
EFI stub loading support for RISC-V

This branch implements support for loading the RISC-V Linux kernel
straight from EFI firmware, by adding PE/COFF metadata to the kernel
image and incorporating the kernel's EFI stub.

Note that this is the *bare* minimum that is needed to boot from EFI
firmware. The following pieces are still missing at this point, and
will be required for full interoperability with generic EFI firmware:
- using the EFI memory map instead of the device tree to populate the
  memblock tables
- parsing and handling of generic EFI configuration tables (such as
  SMBIOS), as well as architecture specific ones that may be defined
  for RISC-V
- runtime mapping of EFI runtime services memory and MMIO regions, and
  support for EFI runtime services (get/set time, get/set variable, reset
  system)
