POINT OF CLARIFICATION: uefi is not bios, it replaces bios. secure boot is seperate from efI (UEFI) and can be turned on or off without affecting efi. see-

http://www.rodsbooks.com/linux-uefi/#isitefi

its a pretty good explanation. ((the rest of that page refers to a different workaround that I am currently pursuing, so it wont help you much beyond the expalnation of EFI/UEFI/BIOS and SECUREBOOT)). Good luck and happy hacking....
