Description

Currently we set /subsystem=efi_boot_services_driver for all pure Rust binaries, which works for development, but as we get runtime service and applications, we need to appropriately set the subsystem type. @makubacki for reference.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing where /subsystem=efi_boot_services_driver is assigned for pure Rust binaries, then identify how driver types are represented for runtime services and applications; done means each type receives its appropriate linker subsystem.
