What machines? Model numbers? Manufacture?

I'd also argue that this series continues to write into reserved memory
regions (as confirmed by the fix to 5/10 that I sent in) and you're able
to still boot so I wouldn't put much value into the hardware you've been
using.

HP ML10v2
Lenovo T430
Intel NUC NUC5i5MYHE
Intel NUC NUC5i3MYHE (oddly has a pretty different firmware than above)
Mercury LDS3506
Dell Precision 3420 (co-worker says this is setup to boot BIOS)
ASUS M3A78-CM motherboard
ASUS AMD motherboard (I don't have it near me and its not powered on
right now)
SuperMicro ???? (I don't have it near me and its not powered on right
now so I can't figure it out)
QEMU + OVMF from Ubuntu 16.10
QEMU (master from last week) + OVMF (master from last week)

The two unknowns are machines I've got at home and I had unplugged
everything while I was on vacation to hopefully avoid lightning strike
damage.

I'm using EFI on my T430.

Likely not. Both those operations are only available over AMT which is
connected on our internal corporate network. I can see if I can bring it
home for a period of time and give you access from my home.
