I do have some stuff under /sys/firmware/efi/vars, but not under
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars. The stuff in efi/vars seems to be provided
by 'sysfs'. According to 'man efibootmgr':

              Note: efibootmgr requires that the kernel support access
              to EFI non-volatile
              variables through /sys/firmware/efi/vars or
              /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/.


I guess mounting efivars is not required. efibootmgr invocation shows:

BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002,0003,0004,0005
Boot0000* devuan
Boot0001* Hard Drive
