2012-06-01x86, efi: Add EFI boot stub documentationMatt Fleming1-0/+65
Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and how it works. The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This has tripped up a couple of users.
