Can you try to convert it into a list instead? Leif tried to make the UEFI Shell work and stumbled over the same limitation, so I guess a static array won't cut it for long.

Hello Alex,
is it safe to call malloc and free before efi_exit_boot_services?
Currently we do not check that boottime services are not called after efi_exit_boot_services. Shouldn't every call to boottime services fail thereafter? The spec says: "After successfully calling ExitBootServices(), all boot services in the system are terminated."
We definitively do not want to call malloc at runtime because all available memory (except for EFI_MEMORY_RUNTIME) is managed by the operating system.
Best regards
Heinrich
