Right, I had forgotten about grub-hybrid.  That complicates things.

That works too :-) It just felt a little "heavy-handed".  I'll let
Ricardo judge which approach to take.

I do wonder if we can do better though, and maybe even fix it properly.
Ricardo: Can you post the output of `find /sys/firmware/efi -maxdepth 1`
on the affected machine?  With luck, we'll find a variable that is only
present on "real" EFI.

Can you also post the contents of '/sys/firmware/efi/runtime'?
