Commands can be modified and protocols can be extended. There was only one e-mail explaining the needs and I answered with proposing possible solutions yet the 2 e-mails in question were completely ignored.

EFI specification specifically tells to call ExitBootService. ------enig2BWVKSVXKTGGIWNNLLBCG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iF4EAREKAAYFAlJmnCwACgkQNak7dOguQglZDwD/ZQBV6YYlR6r4FAavYI0rXlp5 f+yAvxeS4C2vr+blOEgA/0tbcECFzgDeusAE68qEJ4kvnNxf+wLAsiDiMrD3la6Z =gysx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------enig2BWVKSVXKTGGIWNNLLBCG-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
