From: Greg Joyce <gjoyce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Changelog v3a: - No code changes, but per reviewer requests, adding additional mailing lists(keyring, EFI) for wider review. Architectural neutral functions have been defined for accessing architecture specific variable store. The neutral functions are defined as weak so that they may be superseded by platform specific versions. The functions have been desigined so that they can support a large range of platforms/architectures. PowerPC/pseries versions of these functions provide read/write access to the non-volatile PLPKS data store. This functionality allows kernel code such as the block SED opal driver to store authentication keys in a secure permanent store.
