Hi Peter,
As discussed previously, please consider pulling this into a new topic
branch, to potentially merge for v3.10. The changes move all the code in
drivers/firmware/efivars.c into new files under drivers/firmware/efi/
and moves the efivarfs code to fs/efivarfs. This allow us to pick and
choose which EFI support to compile instead of having everything under
one monolithic file. In particular, having the efivarfs code under fs/
allows building an efivarfs.ko module, which means mount(8) can
automatically load it.
It also introduces the new efivar_entry API.
The following changes since commit 07961ac7c0ee8b546658717034fe692fd12eefa9:
