I kinda wish Linux would implement support for all the UEFI functionality. It would let you build micro systems which 'just worked' with no drivers.

The downside is that UEFI drivers tend to be barebones and not high performance. But it is a nice fallback to know that you will always at least have something that works.

For example, here is the API for disk access offered by UEFI: https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.10/13_Protocols_Media_Access.h...

This is already possible with kernel patches in https://github.com/osresearch/safeboot-loader . It is extremely cool, but the README there also explains why it's not necessarily a good idea.
