I posted a similar patch recently [0], but it does not really solve the problem as /sys/firmware/efi/efivars (which is the standard mountpoint for this fs) does not exist unless the efivars module is loaded. I believe a proper solution is in the works [1], which will split out all the various parts nicely into separate modules.
