The ASUS UEFI firmware exposes an ACPI table to Windows 10, called "WPBT" or "Windows Platform Binary Table". WPBT is used in the pre-built OEM industry, and is referred to as "the Vendor's Rootkit." Put simply, it is a script that makes Windows copy data from the BIOS to the System32 folder on the machine and execute it during Windows startup - every single time the system is booted.
Security considerations aside, I would like to see the ability to auto-install drivers/software/etc. in the Bhyve UEFI BIOS. This would make running Windows VMs on FreeBSD/SmartOS/macOS much easier.
