Utopic already has the necessary changes for grub2 and efibootmgr.
I've marked those cases as "Fix Released" in this bug.
The only ordering issue here is that efibootmgr for trusty needs to go
in before the grub2 update for trusty (which hasn't been uploaded
yet).

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  It is currently not possible to install EFI-based arm64 systems.

  [Test Case]
  Install an arm64 system with d-i. On reboot you should have a new "ubuntu" entry in the EFI boot menu that starts GRUB and boots into Linux. This can be tested in QEMU if hardware is not available:
    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM64/QEMU
  Note that kernel support is also required, so you'll need to use an LTS Enablement kernel. 

  [Regression Risk]
  Most of the required changes involve enabling builds/backporting code that will only run on previously-unsupported systems. The biggest risk I see is in breaking previously-supported arm64 systems - luckily there's only a few of those and we can test them.
