grubx64.efi is installed at /boot/efi/efi/grub2/grubx64.efi , but the

who have to find out the "actual" prefix dir in case he/she wants to
modify grub.cfg and grubenv in that dir. The only way to force
grub-install to install "everything" in /boot/efi/efi/grub/ is to us
The modules and configuration files form platform-independent part as
far as install is concerned (it's always handles the same way). The
grub.efi is the EFI specific part which needs to go where EFI expects
it. /efi directory on ESP as its name implies stores files for EFI,
perhaps some small config files, it is not to store our bunch of
modules. It's ok to use ESP to store modules unless they go into /efi
directory but it's hard to say if such a long list of files will trigger
any bugs in firmware implementation but in any case platform-independent
part shouldn't go into firmware-specific directories. We've already had
issues with IEEE1275 when we did something similar
