'e' is pretty meaningless, the canonical name for efi_info local
variables is typically 'ei' (although this is not consistent across the
code).

Is this a flag that shows whether the EFI loader is 64-bit?

Is it normal that EFI provides no 'systab'?

Since 'config_tables' is a void * there's no need to cast the type.

Ditto.

So it looks like

'return' is not a function.
