That message is much too technical. As a user I would not care about
malloc(), calloc() or any other memory allocation call failing.

In other parts of our coding we use

printf("ERROR: Out of memory\n");

                ret = CMD_RET_FAILURE;
                goto out;

efi_set_variable() is called from different places in U-Boot (e.g.
efi_setup.c). On the other hand we want to make efi_set_variable()
available at runtime in funture.

So may be we should replace all our EFI_CALL(efi_set_variable()) by an
internal function which provides error output.
