Re: efi: new 'connectefi' command

[Renaud Métrich]

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for reviewing this.

I reworked the feature based on your comments:

- used grub_list

- renamed into "eficonnect"

- added "all" option

See "[PATCH v4 1/2] lsefi: fixed memory leaks (unchanged)"

and "[PATCH v4 2/2] efi: new 'eficonnect' command"

Renaud.
