I think there may be some confusion.

All the drivers we linked you to are pure UEFI drivers. It doesn't 
matter if they were a port from GRUB or something else, the code was 
converted to work as a standalone UEFI driver. Especially you don't need 
to have GRUB running or anything. You can just use the "load" command in 
the shell to load the driver, and then access the file system.

I believe you should be able to download any of the ext binary drivers 
mentioned and use them in your shell right away to access your file 
system from it.

I don't think there's anything to port. The drivers have already been 
ported for UEFI (though, in the case of efifs, they rely on gnu-efi for 
compilation rather than EDK2 - but this has the benefit of being able to 
use a regular Visual Studio 2015 solution).
