Hi Khalid,

This sounds like significant amount of work. So till this work really
gets merged, noefi is not a bad option. Atleast it will allow us
to capture dump. And once a generic fix is in, one can remove it and
build more fancy features which make use of EFI services in second
kernel?

Thanks
Vivek
