Ingo Molnar 4682c211a8 * Prevent accidental deletion of EFI variables through efivarfs that
may brick machines. We use a whitelist of known-safe variables to
    allow things like installing distributions to work out of the box, and
    instead restrict vendor-specific variable deletion by making
    non-whitelist variables immutable - Peter Jones
