Maybe Matthew can answer that - I wouldn't think that the specification would
limit the amount of NVRAM - but I would expect implementations to do so. Generally
the EFI persistent space has to share the same flash chip as the BIOS ... and the
BIOS folks are good at filling up all the space with their own code & data. These
chips are still only a few (4, 8) Megabytes or so.
