   Not without a lot of work.  (And I mean a *lot*.  I've done this.  It's    
   a lot of work, even with source code.)   And that's quite irrelevant for    
   sorts of firmware APIs that we're actually talking about here, which are    
   publicly documented. (I'm having trouble coming up with an example of an    
   undocumented firmware API that a bootstrap loader would have any    
   business using.)
