Good point. It's because I followed the way boot manager does :)

I think that it would be good to do so since either boot manager or
efishell should ultimately be an independent efi application
in its nature.

What do you think?

FYI, one of the reasons why efishell cannot be an application
is that we lack an runtime service interface of GetNextVariableName()
which can be used to enumerate variables in dumpvar sub-command.

I also have a patch for adding GetNextVariableName() in my local dev branch.
I intend to post this patch along with capsule-on-disk support,
but I may be able to submit it separately if you like.

Thanks,
