Public bug reported:

Right now even on modern systems with UEFI, Ubuntu is booted via grub2
bootloader. This is slow, error-prone and completely unnecessary. Would
be much better and faster to make GNU/Linux kernel bootable directly by
UEFI firmware. This would also simplify dual-boot setups.

An example of how to pass kernel command-line parameters is shown in:
