There is an issue that pstore doesn't get loaded so it doesn't clean up stale
logs when system boots, causing EFI-back storage overflow. This problem affects
Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04. A quick fix would be to configure CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE=y
so that it's always available.

Note that Jammy and Focal have its own patch, due to different way of
config setup. Focal needs to update the two files below.
