For those who haven't been following, it has now been shown this is NOT a linux
issue. mjg wrote and ran a windows user-space program that bricked a laptop.
Basically, what's happening is that the UEFI spec defines a writeable space for
communicating between boot- and user- space. Unfortunately, if you use more than
about 1/3 of this, the Samsung UEFI crashes on boot. One bricked laptop.
What seems to have happened is that a bug in the linux samsung module crashed
the linux boot. Which did a crash dump into this storage space. Which overflowed
the magic limit. Which bricked the laptop.
But the windows program bricked it just as effectively.
