The change is originated from the following bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70931

The system will hang after BIOS or TRIPLE if it doesn't work, that's why
I added CF9 before BIOS and TRIPLE.

Adam may want to try this change to see if reboot works on his DELL
Venue 8 Pro.

I don't think there is enough justification to revert the patch. We
introduce EFI into the default list, we didn't see any reason to remove
it out so far.

Thanks,
-Aubrey
