Yes, ideally.

But that will get pretty complicated soon, when we introduce setting
proper boot options within UEFI now that we have the runtime services
available - but only if booted via UEFI. This is required to support
multi-boot setups (with different OSes on the same disk; it already
works fine if you dedicate a disk to each OS).

We could still do the default UEFI setup w/o boot option if booted via
BIOS, but then we'll have 3 code paths, all non-trivial to test.

Not objecting, just noting that it might get slightly complex.
