Hm. My copy of efibootmgr has:
typedef struct _efi_variable_t {
efi_char16_t VariableName[1024/sizeof(efi_char16_t)];
efi_guid_t VendorGuid;
uint64_t DataSize;
uint8_t Data[1024];
efi_status_t Status;
uint32_t Attributes;
} __attribute__((packed)) efi_variable_t;
which certainly makes it look like it's expecting a 64-bit value. But
checking the spec does seem to suggest that datasize is a native value,
so presumably it's an efibootmgr bug rather than a kernel one? In that
case, this ought to be dropped.
