Comment (by tqh):

 I think you should read the specs. The correct way is to add a boot option
 to the firmware. And there are no write count limits. There was a firmware
 bug that if nvram got full the computer don't boot. That's why Linux
 limits to 50% usage of NVRAM.

 I think we should follow specs and best practices, not just 'This works
 for me'.
