That's not the point.
The module should better handle writing to the device file gracefully
and not explode. Regardless of whether it is running on an EFI system or
not.
efi_capsule_loader_init() simply loads the driver on *any* system,
even a !UEFI one. And when I write some garbage to the device file, it
explodes.
What it should do instead is check whether it is being loaded on en EFI
system and whether all it needs to function properly is initialized
already, like runtime services. If not, it should refuse to load.
