The modules and configuration files form platform-independent part as 
far as install is concerned (it's always handles the same way). The 
grub.efi is the EFI specific part which needs to go where EFI expects 
it. /efi directory on ESP as its name implies stores files for EFI, 
perhaps some small config files, it is not to store our bunch of 
modules. It's ok to use ESP to store modules unless they go into /efi 
directory but it's hard to say if such a long list of files will trigger 
any bugs in firmware implementation but in any case platform-independent 
part shouldn't go into firmware-specific directories. We've already had 
issues with IEEE1275 when we did something similar
