This is not evidence of an EFI boot.  There is only a single vmlinuz image
on the CD, used by both BIOS and EFI boot.  There is no reason to have two
separate vmlinuz images, and it doesn't matter that it's called
'vmlinuz.efi'.

I don't know how the kernel decides whether to initialize these drivers. 
It's possible that this does point to the system having been booted under
EFI mode.  But maybe it's also possible that the system was booted in CSM
mode.
