Description Anton Saietskii 2024-03-23 13:32:24 UTC 
$ sudo efibootmgr -u /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/memtest64.efi
efibootmgr: invalid option -- u

But according to man page, there is such one:
     -u --efidev unix-path
             Displays the UEFI device path of unix-path.

Guessing it's not significant enough for a patch release? I can pull this patch manually and test on releng/
