Is Eltorito the only way to boot from CD? Can't we access the CD drive
directly in EFI? In any case, I consider CD booting irrelevant with EFI,
since USB ports are more common than CD drives and making a bootable USB
only means copying the files onto it.

About the patches themselves, any comments? You can pull them via git
directly from https://han.bchlr.de/git/public/archiso, branch verify.
