towboot part 5

Summary

UEFI-compatible firmwares thankfully provide abstractions that make writing bootloaders very straight-forward and high-level in comparison to the legacy BIOS API. uefi-rs maps them nicely to Rust data structures and methods. The Rust support for this environment is rather good, although some not-so-frequently-used features are not (yet) supported (see a previous post for more details).
