I found the right syntax to use, @
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB/EFI_examples
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi
--bootloader-id=arch --recheck
But that's clearly for non-Guest, baremetal use.
Is GRUB efii-platform going to be added? Or do we need to switch to different,
less-flexible bootloader, maybe systemd-boot or clover?
