That doesn't seem to help for kali.  I found the binary, and I think it
boots... but it goes from the 1080p that I select for it down to some 4x3
resolution that is tiny.  Then I think X is up, but I don't get a login or
any other response to input other than a mouse cursor.

Really, this should be documented (the uefi boot variables thing).  I
suppose I'll keep messing with it --- maybe booting with the full
resolution and the correct file will work --- which will likely require me
to mount the efi partition on the host and mess around.
