OpenRC 0.28 will mount efivars read only by default due to concerns
about users bricking systems by writing to this filesystem unexpectedly.

Here is the newsitem covering this change.

Title: Mounting efivars read only

OpenRC 0.28 mounts efivars read only due to concerns about changes in
this file system making systems unbootable.  If you need to change something
in this path, you will need to re-mount it read-write, make the change
and re-mount it read-only.

Also, you can override this behavior by adding a line for efivars to
fstab if you want efivars mounted read-write.
