This looks fine to me, but we need the spec folk to commit to this being 
a stable interface before we can start using it.  Historically that's 
been "frozen" for RISC-V specs, but I'm not sure how that all fits 
together in EFI land as IIUC we also have to follow the UEFI forum's 
process.  Last I checked you guys understood that better than I did, so

I had a minor comment about the error message, as well.

Thanks!
