[Bug 1393575] [NEW] efibootmgr gives an Oops

[MagnusPI]

Public bug reported:

if you try to set the bootorder with a boot entry which is not displayed by efibootmgr but is shown in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/Boo...
you  get an Oops and the bootorder is reset.
(Btw this seems the only way to boot from usb once you have installed linux in secureboot mode).
