To be clear, "if no boot option is defined" is wrong.
What the specification requires is that, if a file name is missing
in a device path defined in a boot option, a default path/name must be
appended to the path before trying to load an image from that media.

# efibootmgr, if it means efi_bootmgr.c, doesn't have such a function.
I hope that it is just a matter of time :)
I think that the display format of the menu should be improved so that users
easily understand that the list of UEFI boot options are listed in the order
that "BootOrder" specifies.
