This series adds support to ARM and arm64 for using the kernel's EFI framebuffer driver to drive EFI Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) based framebuffers. This involves refactoring some of the existing x86 code so it can be reused by ARM and arm64, and wiring it up both in the UEFI stub and in the core kernel into the existing UEFI infrastructure for ARM and arm64.
Given that I have access to a variety of different ARM64 UEFI implementations, how would I go about testing this code? Do I need a specific UEFI implementation and are there any special command line arguments I should pass to the kernel? --Mark Langsdorf
