+ /* UEFI manages to ingeniously combine the worst aspects of
+ * both polling and interrupt-driven designs. There is no way
+ * to support proper interrupt-driven operation, since there
+ * is no way to hook in an interrupt service routine. A
+ * mockery of interrupts is provided by UEFI timers, which
+ * trigger at a preset rate and can fire at any time.
+ *
+ * We therefore have all of the downsides of a polling design
+ * (inefficiency and inability to sleep until something
+ * interesting happens) combined with all of the downsides of
+ * an interrupt-driven design (the complexity of code that
+ * could be preempted at any time).
+ *
+ * The UEFI specification expects us to litter the entire
+ * codebase with calls to RaiseTPL() as needed for sections of
+ * code that are not reentrant. Since this doesn't actually
+ * gain us any substantive benefits (since even with such
+ * calls we would still be suffering from the limitations of a
+ * polling design), we instead choose to run at TPL_CALLBACK
+ * almost all of the time, dropping to a lower TPL to allow
+ * timer ticks to occur.
+ *
+ * We record the external TPL at the point of entry into iPXE,
+ * and drop back only as far as this external TPL. This
+ * avoids the unexpected behaviour that may arise from having
+ * iPXE temporarily drop to TPL_APPLICATION in the middle of
+ * an entry point invoked at TPL_CALLBACK. The side effect is
+ * that iPXE's view of the system time is effectively frozen
+ * for the duration of any call made in to iPXE at
+ * TPL_CALLBACK or higher.
+ *
+ *
+ * For added excitement, UEFI provides no clean way for device
+ * drivers to shut down in preparation for handover to a
+ * booted operating system. The platform firmware simply
+ * doesn't bother to call the drivers' Stop() methods.
+ * Instead, all non-trivial drivers must register an
+ * EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES event to be signalled when
+ * ExitBootServices() is called, and clean up without any
+ * reference to the EFI driver model.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, all timers silently stop working when
+ * ExitBootServices() is called. Even more unfortunately, and
+ * for no discernible reason, this happens before any
+ * EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES events are signalled. The
+ * net effect of this entertaining design choice is that any
+ * timeout loops on the shutdown path (e.g. for gracefully
+ * closing outstanding TCP connections) may wait indefinitely.
+ *
+ * There is no way to report failure from currticks(), since
+ * the API lazily assumes that the host system continues to
+ * travel through time in the usual direction. Work around
+ * EFI's violation of this assumption by falling back to a
+ * simple free-running monotonic counter during shutdown.
