      .Full host boot disks include `mmx64.efi`

      Before this update, full host boot disks did not include the `mmx64.efi` file, leading to boot failures in specific scenarios.
      With this release, the boot disks include the `mmx64.efi` file for certain hardware boot scenarios, ensuring successful booting for users.

      Description of problem:

      Bootdisks generated by Satellite don't include the file mmx64.efi. Under certain circumstances, this may be needed to boot the system to be provisioned.

      UPDATE: trying to better explain the certain circumstances so that this might be correctly prioritized here.
      What seems to be happening is that certain HW (for instance HPE Superdome Compute Scale-up Server 3200) has a pending request to load the mokutil and so it's trying to do it when the system boots: it's there and the firmware is trying to honor it.

      As the bootdisk from Satellite does not include this file, it errors out.

      Also confirmed by anaconda engineering: what happens is that the uefi bios/firmware has a pending request to load the mmx64.efi (to load certificates most likely) and regardless of secureboot being enabled; thus the request must be pending at the bios which tries to load it.

       

      Is this issue a regression from an earlier version:

       no

      Actual behavior:
      bootdisk does not include mmx64.efi inside the efiboot.img

      Expected behavior:
      would like efiboot.img to include mmx64.efi. Currently it only contains these files:

      ./EFI
      ./EFI/BOOT
      ./EFI/BOOT/GRUB.CFG
      ./EFI/BOOT/GRUBX64.EFI
      ./EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
