   this line was easy:   
   #define EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE_SIGNATURE 0x5453595320494249   
   efi_systab: [rdx+]   
   000  dq 54535953_20494249  ;signature:"IBI SYST"   
      
   my first idea about the second line was:   
   #define EFI_2_100_SYSTEM_TABLE_REVISION ((2<<16) | (100))   
   008  q 00020064  ;is this correct ???   
      
   NO it's not, specs say it is BCD limited to 0099   
   but I'd interpret this (100) as:   
   008  w 0100      ;revision minor   
   00A  w 0002      ;revision major
