Received this yesterday, about Linux's plans for supporting secure 
booting with EFI.  I've looked into it as a possibility for FreeBSD, but 
I won't be in a position to do anything about it for some time.

But the possibilities are enticing to say the least.

I'm guessing this will be of some use to you and to the FreeBSD guys

It's a qemu Tianocore environment with the recent stuff including
keysigning and "secure" boot.

Not sure who else might want pointing at it but hopefully you can bounce
it on wherever is useful in the project
