I'm not sure I follow. The disk does not need to be supported by
EFI for the EFI stub to work, we are loading the kernel into memory
and then running it from a memory device path.

Hence you can run EFI stub fine from anywhere, whether it's an
nvme disk or a squashfs image.

There is a specific problem with looking up the device path which
I said before, it always uses (root) instead of the actual device
you loaded the kernel from which is silly.
