I personally prefer /efi, as I consider /boot to belong to
FreeBSD and contain the FreeBSD specific boot code.  EFI
is a platform specific set of boot code and belongs to the
system board, and though it may contain freeBSD specific
code it may also contain OTHER code, especially in a
multiboot environment.

If it happens to align us with Linux, all the more reason
to have it at /efi.
