I'm not sure I prefer the assignment-as-truth-value construct over the
original for () tbh

UEFI code could potentially be reentrant, so this should not be static.

We cannot make this const, unfortunately (see below). But we can clean
this up by using L"\r" as the initializer.

This prototype comes straight from the UEFI specification, and even
though it is dumb that they forgot about const-qualified pointers
entirely, I would prefer not to deviate from this.
