This patch was originally posted as a single one, but then was merged in my "run -e." Now I would like to post it on its own.
With this patch, EFI Boot Manager will handles BootNext and BootCurrent variable as UEFI specification describes.
Changes in v4 (Mar 20, 2019)
- strictly check the size of BootNext
Changes in v3 (Mar 8, 2019)
- add error messages around BootNext
- delete BootNext anyway when processing BootOrder
Changes in v2 (Mar 5, 2019)
- extract this patch from my "run -e" patch set
- use efi_[get|set]_variable instead of 'rs->*'
- add EFI_CALL
- cosmetic changes

Thanks a lot for the patch. It is rather late in the release cycle. So expect this in v2019.07.
In the long run we will have to devise a way for automated testing of the boot manager. It think this will have to comprise generating a disk image with an EFI partition with multiple EFI binaries.
Best regards
