Guess it might be broken. Who has actually tested efi graphics, and on what hardware? Does it clear/reset graphics before it hangs? If not we could perhaps add some debug prints to find out what it is doing before the hang. I could perhaps try the efi graphics driver on some iMacs later this/next week (depending on the location where you are reading this).
