Some EC implementations include a small nvram space used to store
verified boot context data. This boolean property lets us indicate
whether this space is available or not on a specific EC implementation.

Is there no way to check for this at runtime?

You can issue a read and see if it succeeds, but the problem is that 
some EC implementations return success even when they don't implement 
the functionality.
