Currently you can't mount efivarfs unless the efivar module is already inserted. This is contrary to the usual way in linux, where we autoload the necessary filesystem modules when a mount request is received. The reason this doesn't happen for efivarfs is because the module is called efivars not efivarfs. Fix this by adding a module alias for efivarfs.
