[PATCH 1/1] ACPI: PRM: Skip the initialization when boot from legacy BIOS

From: Shang song (Lenovo)

Date: Mon Oct 13 2025 - 04:38:01 EST


To address the confusion caused by the misleading "Failed to find VA for GUID..."
message during legacy BIOS boot, making 'EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES's earlier judgment
can prevent this false alert.
