Do we have plan to create a new kobject add to /sys/firmware/efi for provide a fixed mount point to efivars fs? e.g. /sys/firmware/efi/efivars Or we just direct reuse current /sys/firmeware/efi/vars? But, that means we need think for the backward compatibility if choice reuse vars folder. Thanks a lot!
