Subject: [edk2] Reboot directly to UEFI firmware settings

Hi all,

        I've noticed recently that Windows 10 has an method that allows the 
user to reboot directly to the UEFI bios settings without having holding the 
"DEL" key at power up.  This is a useful feature for tablets, etc. 
Here is an article that describes the steps:

http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5831-uefi-firmware-settings-boot-inside-windows-10-a.html

        How is this achieved from a edk2 programmer's point of view.  Does the 
Windows OS return EFI_SUCCESS to the boot manager?  Or, perhaps the OS changes 
the BootNext variable to something and then reboots?

        How does this process work?  I want to write an edk2 shell application 
that does the same thing.

Thanks,

Stephen
