[Bug 1867092] Re: Failed to set MokListRT: Invalid Parameter

[Steve Langasek]

So the issue here appears to be that the new shim treats a failure to
write MokListRT to nvram as a fatal error, even when not booting in
SecureBoot mode, with the consequence that systems with no nvram space
available will fail to boot.

This will take time to resolve upstream due to the requirement to go
through a signing cycle with Microsoft for any new binaries.  However,
it sounds like the bug is well-characterized and we should be able to
work with upstream for a proper fix.
