//! The boot loader for EFI executables
//!
//! This will also handle devicetree installs and Shim authentication if either are available.
//!
//! # Safety
//!
//! This uses unsafe in one place that is completely safe.
//!
//! 1. The `set_load_options` method requires unsafe to call, as it requires one condition that is upheld by the
//!    program. This one condition is that `ptr` must not be freed, or that it lasts long enough. This is ensured
//!    by the usage of a static [`RefCell`], so this is safe.
