int
efi_variables_supported(void);
DESCRIPTION
The libefivar library implements access to EFI Variables via the EFI
Runtime Services. All char * strings are converted to 16-bit UTF strings
before passing them to EFI.
efi_variables_supported() returns non-zero if the current machine
supports setting of EFI firmware variables and the kernel support for
doing so is present. Otherwise zero is returned.

BUGS
No facilities exist to process the strings as native UTF. This is a
limitation in the Linux libefivar library interface.
