Steering run time non-volatile storage access requests to run time inaccessible storage resources

摘要

Non-volatile storage resources associated with third party supplied hardware may be made accessible during operating system run time. Conventionally, these resources are inaccessible to the operating system because no standardized way to access them exists. By collecting configuration data during the pre-boot stage and associating that information with a platform non-volatile storage accessor function that is accessible during run time, the third party supplied storage resources may be accessed during run time.
