The UEFI spec does not permit runtime services to be called reentrantly, and so it is up to the OS to provide proper locking around such calls. For the native case, this was fixed a long time ago, but for the mixed mode case, no locking is done whatsoever. Note that the calls are made with preemption and interrupts disabled, so only SMP configurations are affected by this issue. So add a spinlock and grab it when invoking a UEFI runtime service in mixed mode. We will also need to provide non-blocking versions of SetVariable() and QueryVariableInfo(), so add those as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
