    ACPI: PRM: Check whether EFI runtime is available · 182da6f2
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    The ACPI PRM address space handler calls efi_call_virt_pointer() to
    execute PRM firmware code, but doing so is only permitted when the EFI
    runtime environment is available. Otherwise, such calls are guaranteed
    to result in a crash, and must therefore be avoided.
    
    Given that the EFI runtime services may become unavailable after a crash
    occurring in the firmware, we need to check this each time the PRM
    address space handler is invoked. If the EFI runtime services were not
    available at registration time to being with, don't install the address
    space handler at all.
