Hi Andrey,

yes, thanks, i figured in the meantime that it looks like the is the 
best option to do.

Have dropped ideas to write a module that adds a command to read (U)EFI 
environment variables like "BootOrder". Although reading (U)EFI EVs 
might be handy in other use cases, and base functionality is already 
available, just not as a command.

Thanks,
Holger
