 (SysV), it mentions adding to the fstab parameters to mount efivarfs at
 boot. It isn't exactly explained why this should be done. But from what I
 read, it isn't really necessary. For the Systemd version of BLFS, it says
 this is done automatically, but it's still important to keep tabs on
 what's happening.

 I can tell you from previous experience that efivarfs needs to be mounted
 for efibootmgr to be able to modify boot variables. But yes, systemd
 mounts it automagically at boot. SysV certainly doesn't. For openrc, I
 cannot tell, but it needs specific code in the `init` binary.
