On the off chance that this issue has a broader impact I will leave a
reference to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/708251
wherein similar behaviours are being observed with 6.5.0-9-generic on
amd64.

efivar -l returns: "efivar: error listing variables: Function not
implemented", yet `ls /sys/firmware/efi` returns entries.

I noticed this after upgrading from Ubuntu 23.04 when efibootmgr stopped
working.

Ubuntu 23.10 x86_64, 6.5.0-9-generic (Plasma 5.27.8 if that makes a
difference).

Happy to provide any other info on request.

  root@ubuntu-server:/var# efibootmgr -v
  EFI variables are not supported on this system.

  Expected behavior would be to display the variables.
