I agree that efi object structs are supposed to be opaque and thus we
can use any allocation mechanism we like.

What I also see is that efi_delete_handle() even calls free() on
objects, so spawning them from efi memory rather than malloc memory is
also just wrong.

In short, I think your patch is completely correct :).
