In terms of ordering, 3 should probably come before 2 - but that depends
on us actually fixing the issues that are preventing some of these calls
from working. As far as wallclock time goes, EFI is going to be
available to us before we've parsed the DSDT to determine whether
there's any ACPI devices, so we'll almost certainly end up having to use
it at at least some point during boot. Otherwise, agreed.
