Description
EFS provides instructions for installing the client on various Linux distros:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/installing-amazon-efs-utils.html#installing-other-distro
Our initial support for access points assumes that the EFS Client is installed on the AMI of the instance. This is true for Amazon Linux 2, but for other distros, we can detect and if necessary install the EFS client using user-data.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing EFS access-point support and the AWS EFS client installation instructions linked in the issue. Trace how user-data is generated for instances, then verify that non-Amazon Linux distributions can detect and install the client before mounting an access point.
