As previous discussion with Greg, this is not a good in sysfs. I wonder if there's other users for this file except kexec-tools. If kexec-tools is the only user, maybe I can split it as several files. In kexec-tools just use /sys/firmware/efi/"$entry_name" and if $entry_name does not exist then switch to old systab file. Thanks Dave
