I've read Geoff's stuff and even know him -- that doesn't make him MSDN.
His pages are not "documentation", they're the same thing you can get
yourself from IDA.
The point remains there should NOT be post NT 5.2+ code in kernel-mode. If you don't
understand this, I can ask Aleksey to clarify.
Also, these routines were purposely implemented to replace Ke ABIOS interface for EM64T
(because you can't do Virtual 8086 easily from Long mode) and EFI (because there is no
Video BIOS) systems, so I do know what I'm talking about.

LOL, I love that "I couldn't find any documentation on MSDN and in some
arbitrary collection of headers, so it must not exist".
I also never talked about MS provided documentation. 3rd party
documentation still qualifies as documentation and it's better than
nothing, if not even better than a lot of MS documentation.
Here, for you to read:

Maybe it helps you to understand that x86Bios functions have absolutely
nothing to do with EFI.
Done.

Your search - "x86BiosCall"
site:microsoft.com - did not match any documents.
bash-3.2$ grep -ir 'x86BiosCall' /ntdev/headers/ --include *.h --include *.c
bash-3.2$
Your turn.

The services are undocumented and reserved for

They are not "Documented" and there's no reason to use the Vista
implementation.
