It's supported on aarch64 and armv7l as well, so just drop the restriction
entirely since it doesn't add much.

I think it would be better to deliberately allow arches we want. As far 
as I understand the cmd line generated to use UEFI can vary depending on 
the guest architecture, is that right Laszlo? If it is so, ACK to the 
opposite patch :)

Sorry about the late response.

I wasn't CC'd on either this patch or the "opposite" one. But, I think I
agree with Michal -- enumerating architectures that are allowed to use
UEFI seems safer at this point than a whole-sale enablement (and also
safer than enumerating the architectures that are *not* allowed to use
UEFI).

So, default to "off", list the arches one by one that are allowed to use
UEFI, and (if necessary) customize the command line / pflash switches
for the given arch.

Thanks
Laszlo
