I don't get your point. What's the matter with device tree?

Simple.

=> run -e Boot0001

versus

=> efidebug boot next 1
=> bootefi bootmgr

First of all, efidebug is only recognized as a *debugging* tool.
I believe that the former syntax is more intuitive, and it looks
a natural extension to "run" command semantics akin to "env -e".

As a result, we don't have to know about bootefi for normal operations.
