I'm not questioning       any of that, and I'm not trying to replace any of that.              I just want a computer manufacturer to allow me to       flash a little bit of my own code. Doesn't have to be       every manufacturer. Just 10% of computer manufacturers       would be good enough.              This code would be executed instead of loading a       BOOTX64.EFI.              Or alternatively, download their firmware from their       website, append my little bit of code, and zap their       firmware to call my code.              BFN.
