I recently added a partition menu to `loader.efi`. I can work on a pull req=
uest
if you think it fit the needs expressed here.

It build the menu using either a static list of partitions (filtered by nam=
e or
unit) or by using the BOOTME attribute. Under the hood it use the
PARTITION_INFO protocol if available but fallback to builtin GPT parsing wh=
en
missing.

See the "Patch EFI Loader Partition Menu" attachments for the gory details =
