I took your branch, added the UEFI patch to it, and then with some
fiddling:

(gdb) reload-uefi -o GdbSyms.dll

EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE @ 0xff7cff18

(sip a LOT of output)
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

Its a fairly major improvement, and I managed to use GdbSyms.dll to
load ALL the symbol files in a single go, but I'm still having issues
with the stack. At least now i can get the frame we're currently in
reliably, but the backtrace remains busted.

reload-uefi also is incredibly slow, probably because its going
through three SSH proxies to dump out the DebugImageInfoTable. I can
combine this though with printing points out and get a reasonable idea
of where stuff is breaking.
