+Handoff to main Linux kernel
+----------------------------
+
+Currently the EFI stub enters the main Linux kernel via the same entry points
+that are used when booting without UEFI. This might change in future versions.
+For a description of these entry points see:
+
+* for arm :doc:`/arm/booting`
+* for arm64 :doc:`/arm64/booting`
+* for riscv :doc:`/riscv/index`
+* for x86 :doc:`/x86/boot`
