We're not generally in the habit of adding code in the kernel to cater for users that don't exist yet (in this case, non-UEFI), because doing so pretty much always leads to bit-rot and maintenance headaches down the line. If someone wants to use this library in the future for non-UEFI things, they'll have to make the necessary modifications. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
