rS328374: uefi.8: update HISTORY and remove incomplete AUTHORS
Summary
  • EFI support first appeared in 5.0 for ia64
  • AUTHORS missed the folks responsible for that work, rpaulo who did the i386 port, and the folks who came after the amd64 porting effort for general UEFI improvements or arch ports (@imp, @tsoome, @andrew, @manu etc.). Just remove the section.

My only suggestion would be to add a note for arm here. Not sure when arm support first shipped (11.0 or some 10.x release?) Also, not sure if that is arm64-only? (My RPI3 uses EFI to boot arm64, but uboot for armv7 on HEAD)

Add arm64 UEFI history

armv7 isn't really supported, status goes on and off at each u-boot or loader.efi changes, I'm trying to keep it working but sometimes it fails. (also we don't install loader.efi or boot1.efi for arm RELEASE/SNAPSHOT images).

It works with qemu and an EDK2 based UEFI. This was the reference platform I used to port boot1.efit & loader.efi to 32 bit arm.
