EFI Boot

Proposing as NTH for F16 Final (10/11/2011) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735023
This may mean that a f 16 Soas Live USB would boot on a EFI (Mac) computer.

Peter Robinson:
We've delayed the release slightly in co-operation with Fedora release
engineering to get a patch to support networking. I'm expecting the
release to happen next Tuesday at this point. I'll be working on it
over the weekend to clean up some lose ends. As it turns out there was
also an issue that caused persistent overlays to fail on the live
images so its good to get some of the zero day fixes in as well.

Nightly live composes (Fedora 16 rawhide Branched)
