Re: [PATCH 1/3 -v4] x86_64 EFI runtime service support: EFI basic runtime service support

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?
