I'm not very sure what is to "erase the duplicated variable". If the
firmware is broken, the variable interfaces probably are also broken and
can't be used to erase variable. Users need to reset nvram to a known
clean state, but often the hardware doesn't provide such facility.

I will test this. The IBM x3100m4 is gone. It takes some time to figure
out how to corrupt nvram in QEMU...
