Romain has already submitted a patch series that adds a package for
edk2, in a precompiled form. I don't know if you have been Cc'ed on
that.

But we already have 2 defconfigs:

 - qemu_aarch64_virt_defconfig, which IMO should stay pretty much as it
   is: directly kernel boot

 - aarch64_efi_defconfig, which should be usable by EFI/ACPI compliant
   platform, and Qemu should be one of them.
