Sounds like a secondary bootloader.  Obviously those are unlimited in
their capabilities.  Does anybody know if anybody has created anything
like "coreboot for UEFI" or similar?  I'm thinking about a
linux+initramfs that is just designed to provide a super-flexible
bootloader for another OS.  Maybe that is what the more popular UEFI
bootloaders already do.
