Automated EFI stub booting is provided by sys-kernel/installkernel when the efistub USE flag is enabled. This relocates the regular boot layout from /boot to the EFI/Gentoo directory on the EFI System Partition and then calls kernel-bootcfg from app-emulation/virt-firmware to add or remove a boot entry for the installed or removed kernel. Installkernel is called automatically by the kernel's make install or by the Distribution Kernels' post-install phase. Therefore, no special action is required when installing a new kernel, though the kernel-bootcfg-boot-successful init service from app-emulation/virt-firmware should be enabled to automatically make an entry for a new kernel permanent when booting it was successful.
