Please
kernel command line
parameter now. If it is desired, it can be disabled by default, and only
enabled if specified in kernel command line parameter. I think the time
runtime service may be useful if the underlying hardware is changed
silently by some vendor.

(Eric: do note that there are two EFI framebuffer standard, UGA and GOP.
Apparently UGA is obsolete and we have always been at war with GOP at

EFI framebuffer doesn't depend on EFI runtime service. It only depends
on kernel boot parameters (screen_info).

be eliminated and I will work on this.

, the 32-bit boot protocol has been merged into mainline. So can
this patchset be merged into mainline kernel now?

Do you think this solution is better?
