Hmmm. OK.

Side-channel rant: I always wonder how I should call the EFI 'firmware':
  - EFI BIOS
  - EFI firmware
  - BIOS
  - firmware
  - EFI  (but that more a spec than an implementation)

So, I usually refer to what we called BIOS in the early days as the
"lecagy BIOS", which is also what you'd find in most EFI BIOSes when
you enable "legacy BIOS" (often as a simple and efficient way to
by-pass the secure-boot.)
