The UEFI spec version 2.8 errata A defines a configuration table called EFI_RT_PROPERTIES_TABLE that carries a mask describing which EFI runtime services are still functional at OS runtime. Even though any runtime services that cease to be functional when exiting boot services are still required to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED when called by the OS, having this mask is helpful, since we can use it to prevent modules like efi-rtc or efivars from loading, instead of allowing them to probe and fail with an error. So let's wire this up: make some room in struct efi for the mask, read it from the EFI_RT_PROPERTIES_TABLE if available, and replace various instances of 'if (efi_enabled(EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES))' with checks for the runtime service in question that the code relies upon.
