For debugging purposes, allow the runtime override mask to be set from a
EFI variable if one exists. For instance, the RT supported mask can be
set to 0xfffd to disable the SetTime() runtime service, and enable all
others:
echo -ne "\x7\0\0\0\xfd\xff" \

I'm really sorry, I applied this patch, but I couldn't find the file
(LinuxRtMaskOverride*) under efivars, and couldn't find another way of
setting the variable.
Thanks,
