And you are sure it really is valid?

It's built with CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION which I think is the required
option but I've never done EPT things with u-boot, so I've no idea if
that is sufficient.
This stuff is generic u-boot stuff not sunxi, board or even ARM
specific, so you might want to ask on the u-boot mailing lists.

In theory, but the installer is still using 3.14 which lacks the mmc
drivers.

Yes.
Until the installer is update to 3.15 you could install to SATA and then
move /boot to an mmc partition, update fstab to mount it etc, which
should have the same affect.

Probably it is enough to use "mmc scan" and set ${device} to mmc instead
of scsi, but I've not tried it.
If you manage to figure out the specifics please update the wiki page
