Detecting "Safe Mode" from a file system filter driver

NTFSD

For various reasons, my file system filter driver requires a StartType of
SERVICE_BOOT_START(0x0). Therefore, it is loaded even in “Safe Mode”.
However, it would preferable to limit the activities of the filter driver
in “Safe Mode”, in case the filter driver’s activities are the cause of
some problem.

Does anyone know if a loaded driver can detect that the system is running
in “Safe Mode”, using any of the sanctioned DDK/IFS interfaces?

Thank you.
