Hi,

I've received a few successful test reports for EFI/ZFS, on both ZFS and 
UFS systems.  I have personally been using it for some time in a GRUB + 
loader.efi setup.

I have a fairly minor test result for loader.efi.  I have confirmed that 
"nextboot -k" works fine.

In general, I need testing on ZFS setups with more complex vdevs (l2arc, 
intent logs, mirroring, striping, raidz, etc.)

I myself have a new raidz pool I can use (it's running FreeBSD 10, 
though, so I'll need to backport the patch).  I've also got some laptops 
coming that I can use.
