Tried UEFI Shell command:
Shell> bcfg boot add 3 fs0:\EFI\boot\bootxx64.efi "test"

F11's Boot Menu cannot show the test entry.

Run "sudo fwts uefivarinfo -" will give this error:

Test 1 of 1: UEFI variable info query.
UEFI NVRAM storage:
  Maximum storage: 73708 bytes
  Remaining storage: 59812 bytes
  Maximum variable size: 40920 bytes
Variable is larger than maximum variable length.
Return status: EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. The buffer is not large enough to hold the
requested data. The required buffer size is returned in the appropriate
parameter when this error occurs.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
