Super cool!
One question: why a UEFI boot loader? QEMU and others have mechanisms that support direct loading of an ELF binary. Was the original thinking to support bare metal? (Or maybe it's still in the cards?)

It happened by accident. Originally I wanted to run on bare-metal, and thought UEFI would be a good starting point. THen I never got around to adding multiboot and similar support.
