Do you mean having a haiku_loader built with the efi api and ABI?
That will make things more complicated. Or am I misunderstanding you?

If we need to do that perhaps do enough in the efi application and
just pass the info needed to haiku_loader?
(I rather try to keep work at a minimum for the first version.)
