The problem seems to be related to 5.10.x kernels & LGA1155 based systems.

1. On laptop based on i5-8250u efibootmgr works fine (all kernel versions)

2. On systems based on LGA1155 socket (i5-2500k, i7-3770):
- kernels 5.10.x: efibootmgr does not work,
directory /sys/firmware/efi/efivars is empty
- kernel 5.8.0-2: efibootmgr woks as expected

On 5.8.0-2 i get:

# lsmod | grep efi
efivarfs               16384  0
efi_pstore             16384  0
efivars                20480  1 efi_pstore

There is no efivars.ko in 5.10.x. Maybe that is the problem?
