I get these boot issues sporadically with kernel updates. I keep a separate boot entry in gummiboot with a kernel I know boots in case I get hit with it again.
I haven't found anything useful on this silly bug so I'd say this is your best option if you would like to avoid booting a liveCD every time it happens.
Rather than keep an old kernel around, I just keep grub-efi set up. Since the issue Mike Cloaked is referring to is the efistub bug, grub or syslinux (or elilo) continue to work just fine. So I primarily use gummiboot, but in the gummiboot menu I have ne entry to get to grub. From grub I can boot the kernel normally. But I haven't been hit by this bug since about 3.9 I think... -- Curtis Shimamoto
