All 64 bit oses, afaik we can not boot anything 32 bit
with our current uefi, which is:
This branch is 8930 commits behind tianocore:master. 
And depends on an external git belonging to Peter Grehan,
who is now gone from the project.

Our GOP code frequently blows up vnc clients is another
issue, not sure if that is in the uefi stuff, or if we
just have bad vnc layered on top of it.  It throws recs
that are out of bounds.

The embeded PXE code is also rather dated.
