  4. linux: Enable EFI support 

    Newer systems, like the Dell OptiPlex 5055, have problems with legacy
boot, so enable EFI support.

> This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are available
> (such as the EFI variable services).

Additionally, enable the frame buffer device driver.

> This is the EFI frame buffer device driver. If the firmware on
> your platform is EFI 1.10 or UEFI 2.0, select Y to add support for
> using the EFI framebuffer as your console.

It can only be built into the Linux kernel, so built the frame buffer
device into the Linux kernel too.
