Running out of space in EFI isn't a well-tested scenario, and I wouldn't
expect all firmware to handle it gracefully. This is made worse by EFI 1
not providing any information about available storage. I'd be fine with
changing the default number of entries on systems where we can obtain
the appropriate information to make that decision, but otherwise I think
it should be limited to 1.
