Ok.  That's reasonable, but the major pain point here is that the install class improvements aren't in the RHEL7.0 Anaconda that is the subject of the patches.

The current state means that when doing Atomic CentOS, we need to merge the CentOS anaconda patchset with the Atomic patchset to get the correct efi_dir.  (But only for UEFI, which is why this bug wasn't more obvious earlier)
