You probably should mention that efirt is only available on amd64 and arm64.

Perhaps this should go into efirt(9) instead.

Ahh, good point. I'll split these up tonight, mention the availability, and resubmit.

Split efirt(9) out, leaving efidev(4)/efirtc(4) intact and adding a mention of efirt(9) there.

efirt(9)'s content has been restructured to fit section 9 a little better, but otherwise remains mostly the same as it was worded in efidev(4).
