I'm sorry, I pressed send too early, I was aiming for the draft folder.
So yes, based on that EFI that might be interruptible, let me try to
look at the initial issue again and maybe I get another idea how to deal
with this.
One question: If EFI is interruptible that means, we call into EFI - how
do we get out? Does EFI enable interrupts and the kernel receives an
interrupt and treats this EFI call like a regular context switch?
