I've been wondering how people solve the problem of having a driver 
support features from newer UEFI specifications but continue to work on 
older systems.

Coming from a Windows background, is there some mechanism similar to 
LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() to detect and conditionally load 
libraries at runtime?  Or is the solution simply to have multiple driver 
builds - for UEFI 2.1, 2.3, 2.4 etc.?  If so, which build do you use for 
the optrom - or is there a solution using some sort of custom loader 
binary that runs the best driver that's in rom?
