Actually I see no reason to test after provoking Keyhenge’s error.
How does your patch fix a full NVRAM?  I thought Keyhenge resolved
their error by deleting “files” from the full NVRAM.  Do I
misunderstand Keyhenge’s issue?

But /sys/firmware/efi/efivars probably should be mounted anyway.

Do you know why

efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

is mounted even without your patch once I add %desktop-services to my
config.scm?
