Dear Ilias,

As this is EFI specific, I would appreciate to have "efi" in the
command name, too.

Maybe all EFi related commands should be collected as "efi <subcommand>"
like we did it with the "env" commands long ago.

For backward compatibility e. g. 'efidebug' could be kept, but the
new name would be 'efi debug'; likewise, your new command would be
'efi bootmgr' [or just 'efi boot' ?]

Thanks!
