Great to hear that you went with FreeBSD's API. It's a natural choice for DragonBSD, and NetBSD chose compatible API on AArch64, so it sounds like all BSDs will have an almost identical API. Having header in a different location is a minor thing. I too was trying to make EFI RT work in [1], it doesn't crash the kernel by now, but GetTime() doesn't return proper data either.

Is the code available anywhere? By the way, do you plan to have something like `libefivar` provided as part of OpenBSD? Cheers, Sergii
