I am trying to hook a function into this RT services, the intention here is to invoke an efi application from OS, So wanted to know if this can be possible using the efivars filesystem utility. Can you please provide your comments on this, your response to this can be a great help.<br />Thanks in advance,<br />RohitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850094764354335096.post-78414873681070307112012-12-19T01:06:01.251-08:002012-12-19T01:06:01.251-08:00We've hit our fair share of problems in the Li...We've hit our fair share of problems in the Linux kernel because the firmware vendors are not testing the runtime services thoroughly, presumably because they're not used extensively on Windows.
