None of my work GELI touches EFI yet.

Eric McCorkle (who did most of the original EFI ZFS work) is doing that,
he just posted an update on his work about 90 minutes ago on
freebsd-hackers_at_:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2016-May/049435.html

I am not sure if he has posted the GELI patches yet, but he'd be the
person to contact about testing.
