Adding EFI configuration from the following meta branch commit:
Add EFI scc and cfg files
Basic EFI support only requires CONFIG_EFI=y, this is sufficient for
some boards, and desirable for small configs. This is done with efi.scc.
Additional support for CONFIG_EFI_VARS, CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION, and CONFIG_FB_EFI
is provided via efi-ext.scc (extended) as this pulls in the block layer,
framebuffer support, and virtual terminals.
I'd like EFI_VARS to be part of the base config, but I have received
reports of it failing in some situations. Keeping it separate ensures
basic boot can work with the fragments as defined.

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
