In linux kernel since version 2.6.12
This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are
available (such as the EFI variable services).
This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware.
In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available
at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the
resultant kernel should continue to boot on existing non-EFI
platforms.
