Great, will hopefully borrow that :)  Noted the difference
in the number of partitions, my setup ends up with two GPT
partitions within a hybrid ISO made this way:

(.efiboot.img)

(xorriso ... -isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin
-partition_offset 16 -eltorito-alt-boot -e EFI/.efiboot.img
-no-emul-boot -isohybrid-gpt-basdat ...)

and is booted with ELILO (that one is also convenient as a second
shim for restrictedboot case as it only boots Linux kernels but
doesn't just LoadImage() them so there's no need to sign those;
shim-0.5 has broken this intentionally but I'm pretty happy with
0.4 one).

I'll recheck on my UEFI stand (AMD C60 mITX board).  Purged older
kernels during an accident leaving me with no kernels installed
at all so can't share the config file, sorry -- 3.10 one is handy.

Up to you, I chose to go with stock kernels (given these have
aufs onboard).
