I have a script that uses Qemu to install a Linux OS to the supplied device. At
the end of the install script, efibootmgr is called to create UEFI boot entries
and set the boot order. However, every time I boot the VM, it boots to entry
0004 "UEFI Misc Device" instead of the proper entry specified in the bootorder.
This is confusing a script that I have for managing multiple ESPs (the script
needs to detect the current ESP and sync its contents to secondary/backup ESPs).
Below is the output from efibootmgr on one of my scripted installations.

Please fix tianocore to honor the bootorder instead of creating its own entries.
Thanks.
