If executing `efibootmgr` fails, for example, because the system is booted in
legacy mode, but with a mounted EFI System Partition, the error message
mentions *efibootmgr*. To make it easier for users to work around that
problem by skipping running `efibootmgr`, add the word to the description of
the switch *no-nvram*, which skips the efibootmgr execution.

Paul, are you going to repost the patch with relevant change in the code
and commit message or should I fix it just before push?

I am still thinking how to phrase it. Maybe, just add efibootmanager
after EFI?

What about "don't update, e.g. using efibootmgr, the `boot-device'/`Boot*' NVRAM variables. "?
