WFWI, you now have eve more choice with UEFI payloads on RPi:
     https://github.com/ARM-software/u-boot/blob/master/doc/README.uefi

I am actually using that (and so does SuSE for example)

My immediate question is around build tooling: UEFI presupposes that
you're producing a PE/COFF binary from your build toolchain. On Linux
you do with things like linker scripts, not sure what a native Plan9
equivalent would be.
