   I wonder if anyone has done this or something similar for DOS or even   
   CP/M.  I'm sure there are some diehards who won't give up DOS (or   
   CP/M) even in the face of UEFI.  Maybe, they already coded a UEFI-shim   
   to drop out of LM and into RM, install a usable BIOS, then start up DOS   
   (or CP/M).  Worth a search?
