By that metric, on a secure boot system how do we determine that code
running in the firmware environment wasn't compromised before it
launched the initial signed kernel?

Remote attestation tied to a hardware root of trust, before allowing
access to any further resources.

If you use IMA you can get the same guarantees over kexec.
