With the fix this now boots through to the actual EFI prompt and tries to initialize boot options. The log file no more lists the assertion.

Testing the sizes went well, they are int he right size buckets as they were before (no major change by the patch).

Note: We have not touched the HTTPs capability in the SRU which makes this much saver in this try#2. Therefore also the re-testing of these isn't needed this time.

This overall LGTM and was in proposed for an extra-while without negative feedback, setting verification-done.
