I agree wholeheartedly :). The beauty of "proper" open source code is
that you can actually modify the guts of it to make the code easier at
the end of the day.

I'm not 100% sure the EFI driver exposure is actually a child-parent
relationship with the respective driver model objects. In Java speech
it's more of an "interface" definition than a subclass.

But that said, I think that it may still make sense to move it into the
respective driver cores and just have the EFI structs part of the block
device structs.

However I don't consider it as very high priority at the moment.
Functionally nothing should change from a payload point of view and the
current code allows us to iron out bugs and have non-believers gain
faith in the whole uEFI story without breaking non-uEFI code paths ;).
And all of the actual interface code shouldn't change with a move into
device objects.

So how about we start to tackle this once the non-DM code is gone? That
should simplify things for everyone.
