I just pushed
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=f213da893ca8c7c76e1656b36d3a10f93f9a1760
which should fix the issue for x86, with an UPDATING entry for aarch64.

This is at best a stop-gap kludge. The real solution would be for
loader.efi to publish a list of interfaces it implements and then the lua
code can cope with old/new better.
