Well, the original motivation for all of this was to enable implementation of a EFI framebuffer (UGA/GOP). Now, you can say what you want about EFI (and I definitely have my opinion on it), but that seems legitimate to me.To be very clear. I think we need the EFI boot parameters but we certainly don't runtime services to implement an EFI framebuffer.
Ying claimed that GOP requires EFI runtime services. Is that not true? -hpa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
