Agree, but please note we have to add an apparently weird dependency of
CONFIG_HEXDUMP to EFI_LOADER as do_efi_dump_var_ext() needs to be compiled in
whether CMD_EFIDEBUG is enabled or not.

Well, we need GetNextVariableName API if we want to use GetVariable
(for listing). I have held off merging my another patch for this.
Is it time to do it?
