Yea. I've been told there isn't any sort of standardized method for
EFI here. But I have seen a few different implementations floating
around.
One of the machines I want to support with this driver is actually
using a UEFI bootloader, but we don't have separate storage to use to
communicate back via the UEFI methods, so the ram based approach looks
like the best solution.

Heh. Apologies. Its more of a "where do I put this?", misc rather then
"this should be part of the established misc infrastructure!"
Suggestions for alternative locations?
thanks
