Happy New Year!
I'm trying to figure out the proper place to add code to allow the EFI boot code to respond to the IPMI System Boot Options request to boot a device on the current boot. My initial thought was to change BootNext in the PlatformBootManagerLib APIs, but based on the comment https://www.mail-archive.com/edk2-devel@lists.01.org/msg30378.html it looks like that is *intentionally* unsupported. Does anyone know why we want to avoid PlatformBootManagerLib hooks from being able to set BootNext to control what gets booted on the current boot? Is there an intended alternative way to support the IPMI System Boot Options Command request to use a boot device for the current boot?
Thanks,
Jeshua Smith
