I'm confused as to why we need most of these changes to support the end
goal.  The enhancement to bootimg-efi makes conceptual sense.  I don't
see why we need a new plugin to do the rest, however.  What's being done
here that we don't already do today?  I say this having made installer
images for EFI machines using wic (in sumo, even).  Thanks!
