How it approximately works:
(During a normal system run):
1. OS puts a capsule into RAM and calls UpdateCapsule() function of EFI
runtime
2. If applying the update requires a reboot, EFI implementation creates
a new CapsuleUpdateData* EFI variable pointing at the beginning of
capsules description (not data, but description of the data) and does
a warm reboot leaving capsule data and its description in RAM to be
picked by firmware on the next boot process
(After DEV_INIT:)
3. Capsules are discovered by checking for CapsuleUpdateData* variables
4. Capsule description in memory and capsule data is validated for
sanity
5. Capsule data is coalesced into a continuous piece of memory
(On BS_WRITE_TABLES via dasharo_add_capsules_to_bootmem() hook:)
6. Buffer with coalesced capsules is marked as reserved
(On BS_WRITE_TABLES via lb_uefi_capsules() hook:)
7. coreboot table entry is added for each of the discovered capsules
(In UEFI payload:)
8. CapsuleUpdateData* get removed
9. coreboot table is checked for any update capsules which are then
applied

EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) is an informational structure that
reports basic details about current system or device firmware. This is
chiefly used to perform firmware updates.
New CONFIG_DRIVERS_EFI_FW_INFO is off by default, enabling it adds
DRIVERS_EFI_FW_{GUID,VERSION,LSV} to be used to specify firmware
version/update information.
Existing forms of versions wouldn't be sufficient because there is no
universal way of converting string versions to 32-bit unsigned integers
and there are no GUIDs or lowest supported versions.

The .inc suffix is confusing to various tools as it's not specific to
Makefiles. This means that editors don't recognize the files, and don't
open them with highlighting and any other specific editor functionality.
This issue is also seen in the release notes generation script where
Makefiles get renamed before running cloc.
