This should definitely be guarded with a debug config option and off by
default. It needs to be made really clear that this code is for
debugging purposes.

Beware of these recent debacles,

I'm not saying you need to handle them explicitly in this patch, at
least not if this is all under a config option with a big fat warning.

Allocating things as EFI_LOADER_DATA is fine but you need to be sure to
reserve these memory regions so that they don't get used by any of the
memory allocators. See

    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.efi/580

(yes, setup_efi_pci() suffers from the same problem)

Please use the EFI_VARIABLE_* constants instead of the magic 0x07.

This would be cleaner if you pulled some of the utf16_str* functions out
of drivers/firmware/efivars.c and stuck them in include/linux/efi.h.
Then you could do something like,

		if (utf16_strncmp(bvs_name, name, utf16_strlen(name)) != 0)
			continue;

Why not make found a boolean?
