The model here is for /boot/efi to be an HFS+ partition rather than a FAT one.
That's needed in order to make it show up correctly in the firmware boot picker
and the OS X startup drive chooser. The various files that are dropped in there
are to make it appear in the startup chooser, while the bless command is to
flag it bootable for the boot picker.

There's anaconda work going on that'll be needed for this to work out. The
effective outcome is that a system installed on the entire drive will have an
HFS+ partition but no FAT EFI system partition. A dual-boot setup will keep the
EFI system partition, but we won't use it for anything.

One thing that's been pointed out is that the %post code should make sure that
the filesystem is HFS+ before trying to create any symlinks or run bless.
This'll avoid it being dangerous on upgraded systems.
