BOOTBOOT UEFI Implementation
============================
See [BOOTBOOT Protocol](https://gitlab.com/bztsrc/bootboot) for common details.
On [UEFI machines](http://www.uefi.org/), the PCI Option ROM is created from the standard EFI
OS loader application.
Machine state
-------------
IRQs masked. GDT unspecified, but valid, IDT unset. Code is running in supervisor mode in ring 0.
File system drivers
-------------------
For boot partition, UEFI version relies on any file system that's supported by EFI Simple File System Protocol.

This implementation supports both SHA-XOR-CBC and AES-256-CBC cipher.

Installation
------------
1. *UEFI disk*: copy __bootboot.efi__ to **_FS0:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI_**.
2. *UEFI ROM*: use __bootboot.rom__ which is a standard **_PCI Option ROM image_**.
3. *GRUB*, *UEFI Boot Manager*: add __bootboot.efi__ to boot options.
Limitations
-----------
Known limitations:
- Maps the first 16G of RAM.
- PCI Option ROM should be signed in order to work.
- Compressed initrd in ROM is limited to 16M.
