Truly stupid

Gotta love having a ton of spec when a captive hw maker doesn't give a darn.
My bet is that Apple simply 'knows' not to use any UEFI memory until all devices have been reinitialized by the OS - or they even have a way to pass that memory region back to the OS.
Can we have Linux reserve all such regions until we walked the list of known devices and put them in a known state? At least for Macs?
