Exposing my ignorance here, what would need to write to the EFI stuff ? That article quotes someone as saying mounting it read-only would break some userspace stuff - so what would it break and why does it need to write there ?
Not having actually dealt with EFI other than as a user, I don't recall stuff having to write to BIOS settings !
