Tboot does not have EFI support.  In addition to what it would need to do with 
regards to getting the memory map and ACPI tables, it would also need to fill 
in the OsSinitData.EfiRsdtPtr with the correct value (and this being 0 is what 
is generating the SINIT error).

We do intend to eventually add EFI support (or will take a patch if one is 
offered ;-).
