Hmm, makes sense to me. Maybe we should really hide those behind a debug switch, the question is whether asking the user to boot with "efi_debug=on" in order to see the regions is ok. And I think it is ok because we do that when debugging other stuff so I don't see anything different here.
And then when they're disabled by default, we don't really need to shorten them as they're pure debug output then.
Matt?
