(Get the code!)
Thank you Colin and David. Unfortunately our driver is not open source, but I can answer the first part of your question, Colin, and I believe Igor will be able to answer the UEFI questions you have.
We start the naming of our devices where the first device is /dev/fioa and each following device moves forward in the alphabet the same as the SCSI example above (/dev/fiob, /dev/fioc, etc). If we get more than 26 devices in a system, we would have /dev/fioaa and even go as far as /dev/fiozzz (though this isn't likely to ever happen). We also handle partitions in the same way as IDE disks, but I am not sure what, if any, partition limit we have. I can find this out if necessary.
I will also do a sample test of the development release just to make sure I don't have any problems when the time comes to test any changes you may have. Thank you for your help.
