Doc Text:
A regression was discovered that caused kernel panic during the booting of any SGI UV100 and UV1000 system unless the virtefi command line option was passed to the kernel by GRUB. With this update, the need for the virtefi command line option is removed and the kernel will boots as expected without it.

I have tested this on a couple of uv100
and a uv1000 system.  It successfully booted
without virtefi command line option.
