+Subject: [PATCH] reopen SNP protocol for exclusive use by grub
+
+While working with pxeboot of grub on an ARM platform, I noticed
+very poor network performance while grub was loading a kernel
+and initramfs. The performance during the loading of grub itself
+seemed reasonable. Digging into the issue, I found that the UEFI
+firmware was periodically polling for network packets while grub
+was downloading files. This was causing timeouts and retries in
+the grub network stack.
+
+The solution I found was to reopen the SNP protocol for exclusive
+use. This forces UEFI to shutdown its use of SNP so that grub is
+not competing for incoming packets.
