Hmm, this works for me. I'm using the Linaro built UEFI from
https://releases.linaro.org/components/kernel/uefi-linaro/15.12/release/qemu64/QEMU_EFI.fd
and a 4.4 kernel and a command line
./build/a64-targets-nodbg/aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -m 1024
-M virt,gic-version=3 -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic -kernel
~/test-images/virtv8/Image -bios /tmp/QEMU_EFI.fd -append
'console=ttyAMA0,38400 keep_bootcon root=/dev/vda2'

(which panics for not finding the root fs because I didn't bother
to put that into the command line, but it doesn't hang at the
early stage yours does).

Did you build the QEMU you're testing from the patchset I sent out,
or did you try pulling my git tree? I've just realised I forgot
to update the git tree branch (now done).

thanks
