Please don't reimplement this. Instead make the existing function
global.

Is it safe to completely bypass the efivars interface and access
efi.get_variable() directly? I wouldn't have thought so, unless you can
guarantee that the kernel isn't going to access any of the EFI runtime
services while you execute this function.
