Good question. They're not handled in any special way with this patch series, so the firmware will just initiate its own reset inside of UpdateCapsule(). That's probably not what we want, because things like on-disk consistency are not guaranteed if the machine spontaneously reboots without assistance from the kernel. The simplest thing to do is to refuse to pass such capsules to the firmware, since it's likely not going to be a common use case. But maybe that's overly restrictive. Let me have a think about that one. -- 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
