I don't think the stack alignment issue that you've been referring to is
the problem here. gnu-efi adheres to the 16-byte stack alignment
required by the UEFI 2.1 spec. The gnu-fedora commit you cited earlier
in this thread (for Peter's benefit, it's this one,

http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/grub-fedora/grub-fedora.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ae2d7617526cf19024c54103bd1583aa982f14b;hp=8d73e5190c772f14ab7b248caa4b36b80dcc1c7d) 

did s/x64_call/uefi_call_wrapper/ but efilinux has always used
uefi_call_wrapper().

But certainly, if someone else with a Sandy Bridge machine wants to test
out efilinux, that could be helpful. Like I've said before, you really
need to find out which function call from efilinux is causing the
machine to hang.
