So if you use efibootmgr -v before and after the change in order with
efibootmgr, does BootOrder show the change in the 2nd efibootmgr -v instance?
UEFI spec 2.4.0, page 66, paragraph 3 in particular addresses this; but the
whole 3.1.1 section is less than clear to me how BootOrder is supposed to be
modifiable. I have one instance of firmware that doesn't like BootOrder
modified, it appears to only add options, it won't remove them. And I'm not
sure if this is a firmware bug, or a lack of clarity in the spec how this is
supposed to work.
