As a part of Porting Rust std for UEFI, I had to write a hacky implementation of pipes (using UEFI Variables) for piping output from launched programs. However, this implementation had some problems and failed to run tests using the feature panic_abort_tests. Since I had some time this week, I decided to write a Protocol to fix the pipes.
