[Bradford] EFI mixed mode talk

Hi,

With the release of Debian 8 'Jessie' this weekend, it's the first time
a major Linux distribution has supported running a 64-bit OS atop a
32-bit UEFI firmware out of the box. This is great news for owners of
the ASUS T100 and other Intel Baytrail-T devices since the CPUs inside
are fully 64-bit capable.

Would there be any interest in a technical talk at the next monthly
meeting discussing how EFI mixed mode works (I wrote the kernel
patches), including which popular boot loaders are supported?

Thanks,
Matt
