If you are looking for an alternative to EFI, Intel offers one that
includes embedding Linux in firmware:

It's an interesting product. More and more vendors are buying into
embedding Linux in FLASH, which is nice to see. Having Intel validate
the concept with a product such as RapidBoot is a big step forward.
