From this very thread:

\sEfi\s, \sefi\s, \seFI\s etc should be "EFI"

I'm thinking perhaps start conservatively and catch the most often
misspelled ones in commit messages or comments. "CPU", "SMT", "MCE",
"MCA", "PCI" etc come to mind.

Doesn't have to be another one - established acronyms are part of the
dictionary too.

Perhaps delimited with spaces or non-word chars (\W) and when they're
part of a comment or the commit message...
