Arg.. Sorry for that, I didn't realized that CONFIG_EFI=y was not something rare these days.

I wonder how the windows driver works in this case.. Maybe they use something completly different, and the SABI interface is still there because nobody removed/disabled it ? In this case it's probably not a good idea to use it on these machines since the implementation is likely to be completly broken.
