[syslinux] Even more (U)EFI questions

However it would be nice to have UEFI all handled by syslinux. So as to
maintain some backwards compatibility with older kernels.and perhaps avoid
the need for a local run of `efibootmgr', and/or a special kernel build
with:
[*] EFI runtime service support
[*] EFI stub support
[*] Built-in kernel command line
[*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk
The last two of which, are hardly trivial changes. Totally would have to re
shape initramfs making and updating systems, to have a kernel src directory
handy for a user end automatic rebuild of the initramfs in the event of
changed or added boot time modules ( think adding LVM or an encrypted LUKS
container).
I don't know if this is possible to ask this of syslinux, but if it can be
done, that would be awesome.
