Is that true of all EFI services pointers? From reading the SGI/UV
code I got the impression that it's possible to call the standard
services via efi.systab->runtime but you also need the ability to call
these UV bios functions, which are not accessible via efi.systab.
Do you actually want the same environment setup and teardown to happen
when calling efi.uv_systab ? Or are you simply trying to reuse the
efi_call() implementation?

Could you provide some more details in the changelog on why your
machine doesn't boot without this change?
