barebox[1], a bootloader for mostly ARM and MIPS embedded systems,
can also be built as EFI payload for x86[2] to provide redundant
power-fail safe, watchdog-supervised boot up.
Since its v2015.09.0 release, it has been booting Linux on x86 with
type_of_loader=0xff[3]. Reserve 13, the next free id, so that can be
used instead in the future.
