+Subject: [PATCH 056/347] efi: Disable runtime services on RT
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.246-rt110.tar.xz
+
+Based on meassurements the EFI functions get_variable /
+get_next_variable take up to 2us which looks okay.
+The functions get_time, set_time take around 10ms. Those 10ms are too
+much. Even one ms would be too much.
+Ard mentioned that SetVariable might even trigger larger latencies if
+the firware will erase flash blocks on NOR.
+
+The time-functions are used by efi-rtc and can be triggered during
+runtimed (either via explicit read/write or ntp sync).
+
+The variable write could be used by pstore.
+These functions can be disabled without much of a loss. The poweroff /
+reboot hooks may be provided by PSCI.
+
+Disable EFI's runtime wrappers.
+
+This was observed on "EFI v2.60 by SoftIron Overdrive 1000".
