They are in my case since I have some board code initializes the EFI
subsystem early.  But in general it would not.  So I guess this would
need a call to efi_init_obj_list().

That will still happen.  If the efi_mgr method fails, standard boot
will iterate over devices and use the efi method to boot from the
default path.
