Oh, yeah that's much better. I was being overly cautious with trying to
not dereference the pointers in the regular efi_system_table_t, and what
you've written is much more compact both in terms of C and generated
object code. Things end up looking like this,
---
#define BOOT_SERVICES(bits) \
static void setup_boot_services##bits(struct efi_config *c) \
{ \
efi_system_table_##bits##_t *table; \
efi_boot_services_##bits##_t *bt; \
\
table = (typeof(table))sys_table; \
\
c->text_output = table->con_out; \
\
bt = (typeof(bt))(unsigned long)(table->boottime); \
\
c->allocate_pool = bt->allocate_pool; \
c->allocate_pages = bt->allocate_pages; \
c->get_memory_map = bt->get_memory_map; \
c->free_pool = bt->free_pool; \
c->free_pages = bt->free_pages; \
c->locate_handle = bt->locate_handle; \
c->handle_protocol = bt->handle_protocol; \
c->exit_boot_services = bt->exit_boot_services; \
}
BOOT_SERVICES(32);
BOOT_SERVICES(64);
