Document how EFI consoles work, at least on x86. There's a number of weird quirks and limitations that are generally known, but not documented until now. Include information on how EFI decides what the defualt console is, how to set it and how to cope with common situations. Note limitations and mismatch between ACPI (which uses UID to identify a device) and our console code (which uses a raw address) and explain why we can't translate between them in the loader.
