RW EFI

There are things about the notion of systemd that are attractive. It's easy to write "init"-ish scripts for it. I like the notion of fast boots by understanding resource allocation. But there's some boneheaded shit, too. Like:

Mount efivarfs read-only #2402

The path to pseudo-files that allow writing EFI are mounted read-write by default. Which means that, as root, the wrong rm can brick your machine. Whoops.
