Try section 2.2.2 of the current UEFI specification (2.6).

Those are services, I'm talking about protocols. The ones such as console in/out, mouse, USB, PCI, hard drives, etc.

I'd rather concentrate my efforts on designing the operating system how I like it with the inefficient drivers provided by UEFI than be concerned with writing my own. No doubt I will make my own in the future, but for the time being, I'd like to work on the OS its self rather than the drivers.

In that case, try section 2.4.

UEFI Specification version 2.6 section 2.4 wrote:Unless otherwise specified a protocol’s interface structure is not allocated from runtime memory and the protocol member functions should not be called at runtime.

You'll notice that most protocols don't say anything about use during runtime.

Alright, I guess I didn't read hard enough. More of a reason to not use the interrupt table Thanks!
