In anticipation of putting random seeds in EFI variables, it's important that the random GUID namespace of variables remains hidden from userspace. We accomplish this by not populating efivarfs with entries from that GUID, as well as denying the creation of new ones in that GUID. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
