[PLUG] Booting Linux kernel as EFI Stub on Macintosh Family

Hello,
I have managed to obtain a working configuration to boot Linux on a
MacBook via grub-efi. I have documented that project here:
http://nosemaj.org/dual-boot-mac-linux .
Next, I would like to remove grub-efi all together, and directly boot
the kernel as an EFI stub.
Has anyone had success in doing this, or would be able to offer guidance
towards a working solution?
The (stock) Ubuntu 12.10 kernel that I am targeting appears to ship with
all necessary CONFIG_EFI*=y. I have reviewed documentation from the
Kernel <http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/x86/efi-stub.txt>,
and from Arch Linux
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders#Booting_EFISTUB>,
and am trying to bridge the gap.
Thank you,
Jameson
