So why do you want to print such info at helloworld?

I guess that, according to your cover letter, you have in your mind
some cases where an user may get in trouble relating to the boot device.
Right?

What I meant to suggest is to add an option, -v or -h, to bootefi,
which prints verbose (and helpful) information for users to identify a cause.
I can easily imagine users may blindly try to add -[v|h] when
they see an error message even if they don't know there is such an option:)
