uefi boot on Apple Mac

[Huang Wen Hui]

I got the same result from Fedora-20:

[liveuser at localhost ~]$ dmesg|grep efifb
[    2.665017] efifb: probing for efifb
[    2.667915] efifb: framebuffer at 0x80020000, mapped to
0xffffc9000b980000, using 28800k, total 28800k
[    2.667916] efifb: mode is 2880x1800x32, linelength=16384, pages=1
[    2.667916] efifb: scrolling: redraw
[    2.667917] efifb: Truecolor: size=8:8:8:8, shift=24:16:8:0

stride(4096) *4 = linelength
28800k=stride(4096) *4*1800=0x1c20000
