RFC: exclude partitions from efi_selftest

Hi,

in our environment we get error on efi_selftest if one of several SSD partitions isn't properly initialized (due to some other error, but that's a different topic). I tried to track down to where the partitions get registered for test but got a bit lost so I request advice from you.

Shouldn't be the registering of partitions for self test been made dependent on successful basic init? I wouldn't qualify a non-initialized partition as reason to let self test fail. If at all a warning should be sufficient. As far as I understand efi self test is intended more as a functional regression test, not a H/W system test, isn't it? What about the idea to allow to exclude partitions by environment variable?
