GOP set/get/list is the only interface with uefi graphics we can use from 
bootloader. From loader, we only can try to use resolutions listed by gop list, 
even if the hardware does support better. This is the firmware limit (check for 
update?). Once operating system is running, X11/DRM drivers can switch to use 
better resolution.
