This moves quite a bit of data from bss to rodata. Can you initialize it 
with a function call instead?

Do we really need to have FIRST_EDITABLE_EVENT here? We ignore events 
with a type already set anyway. Sure, we waste a few cycles, but the 
code would be more consistent if we always looped through all events.

Can we somehow contain all callers of tstc() into efi_console? Maybe 
register the event from efi_console as a periodic event that always 
triggers?
