currently x86_64 kernel does not support efi, efi convention comply to
MS convention. On ia32 parameter is passed on stack, on x86_64 parameter
is passed by registers but that is different from x86_64 linux convention.
How about adding EFIAPI prefix before efi runtime service function, this
prefix has different definition in different architecture.
