+//! RAM disk install helper for Patina firmware.

+/// Install `bytes` as a virtual block device using the UEFI RAM Disk Protocol.
+///
+/// Leaks `bytes` into a stable heap allocation, locates the RAM Disk protocol, and asks the
+/// firmware to register the buffer as a virtual disk of type `RAM_DISK_VIRTUAL_DISK_GUID`. The
+/// returned device path can be passed to consumers of UEFI boot device paths.
+///
+/// The backing memory lives for the rest of the firmware's lifetime — there is no `Drop` impl
+/// that frees it. The caller may later invoke the protocol's `unregister` to remove the RAM
+/// disk's device-path entry, but the memory itself stays leaked.
+///
+/// # Arguments
+///
+/// * `boot_services` - Boot services interface
+/// * `bytes` - Bytes to publish as the virtual block device's contents
+///
+/// # Returns
+///
+/// Returns `Ok(DevicePathBuf)` containing an owned copy of the device path the firmware assigns
+/// to the new RAM disk. Returns an error if the RAM Disk protocol is not present, or the
+/// firmware rejects the register call.
