  Note that this is not the first time this happened, before I was
  blaming it on kernel updates, see bug 1646298

  
  System was recovered by reinstalling grub following the following steps:
  * Create Ubuntu live usb
  * Boot from it in UEFI mode
  * Execute:
  # /dev/sda2 -> /
  sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
  for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
  sudo chroot /mnt
  mount -a
  ls -la /sys/firmware/efi
  # should result in bunch of files/folders
  grub-install
  update-grub
