[LinuxBIOS] Fwd: ACPI memo

[ron minnich]

In a simliar vein, I wonder if we'll find it almost impossible to run
EFI drivers under non-EFI software ...

Amazing.  Well, except we're pretty used to this kind of mob-style tactics :-)

But who wants to run EFI drivers anyway?  If I had EFI, the first thing
I would want is getting rid of it.
