Curious
Is there a PC test, albeit, a standard test of the firmware which identifies its UEFI32 vs UEFI64 type?
Like the old BIOS of the past 1997-2007, they went through many revisions.
The same kinds of revisions has happened with UEFI, even though PC technology has been manufacturing consumer 64bit X86 architecture since 2007. And, I know of no PC manufacturer who has made any 32 PCs since 2008. Netbooks was a test market that failed almost immediately after its launch. Yet when Vista & UEFI became mainstream it started as UEFI32 and manufacturers have been advancing to UEFI64. So for ALL 64bit PCs, there exist a combination of old and new UEFI technologies present. And the GRUB2-EFI boot developers have been wrestling/racing to keep up while trying to accommodate the combinations of firmware.
So, I am guessing, that there is some way the the type boot firmware identifies itself at boot.

Happy to learn how to ...
