I am running a somewhat dated version of edk2 (Fedora 31). The operations advertised are: 0,5,14,21,22,23,24,33,96,97. All of these are individually handled in the switch statement, so there should no be any impact. I am currently not aware of whether this list can be extended with some sort of module.
