It's not that simple. /boot/efi is just a mount point for the EFI System
partition. grub.efi can't free float on that partition, it won't be found. It
needs to go in /efi/grub or /efi/fedora or /efi/suse or whatever, per the UEFI
spec. I think for upstream grub it probably would be <mountpoint>/efi/grub. And
then each distribution can modify so their grub-install will place grub.efi in
the distribution specific location on the EFI System partition.
