Thank you.

The article on www.theregister.co.uk that you linked to, which said:

    The directory in question is /sys/firmware/efi/efivars which is a
    special filesystem that presents the configuration settings for the
    computer's underlying UEFI firmware to the user.

as well as the comments in the GitHub ticket referenced therein at:

    https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2402

Particularly illuminating is the comment at:
