When I discussed with Alex about Boot Manager (and distro_bootcmd?),
he suggested that we should not allow users to specify fdt at a command line.
I believe that it would apply to my case above.
IMO, we should always provide system's fdt to EFI applications.

As I said, I already removed this feature from bootefi.

"run" is much better known to U-Boot users than bootefi.
