efi_console_register writes ''\e7\e[r\e[999;999H\e[6n\e8' to the console.

efi_disk_register writes to the console, e.g. "Found 2 disks\n". This
output occurs before the output of the command line prompt.

Now the Python test can match the regular expression '^==>' because the
prompt is the first output on the line.

Your comment was written after my pull request.

Why is it failing?
