it removes all the legacy kernel related options (kernel, initrd, kernel-cmdline) and replace them with the --bootloader efi.

I found out that there is an efistore.nvram file inside the .crc/machine.crc path. It looks logical to use it but I'm not sure if the path can be different based on the bundle_path or anything else.

Not sure about the use of chore in the short log, doesn't this word have a negative connotation? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chore I think of 3. when I see it, even if I guess it's meant as 2.?

In my prev projects we used conventional commits and chore was related to changes that don't directly affect the application's behavior or functionality.

create will ensure that efistore.nvram is created, we don't need to reuse "$HOME/.crc/machines/crc/efistore.nvram" which may not exist
Using a new efi variable store will ensure we are as close as possible to a 'blank state' for our VM.
