access efi variables

[Arend van Spriel]

I need to obtain a uefi variable so I went looking at the API in 
include/linux/efi.h. I found the following definition:

/*
 * The maximum size of VariableName + Data = 1024
 * Therefore, it's reasonable to save that much
 * space in each part of the structure,
 * and we use a page for reading/writing.
 */

struct efi_variable {
	efi_char16_t  VariableName[1024/sizeof(efi_char16_t)];
	efi_guid_t    VendorGuid;
	unsigned long DataSize;
	__u8          Data[1024];
	efi_status_t  Status;
	__u32         Attributes;
} __attribute__((packed));

But according to the specs the variable I need to obtain is 2k bytes. 
Should I expect trouble :-p

Regards,
Arend
