Oh, bah. I see I wrote the patch description in a weird way. It should
have said something like,

  "Every file that includes asm/efi.h also includes linux/efi.h. Move
   the inclusion of the linux file into asm/efi.h so that users only
   need to include one header."

Ingo suggested this because no file in arch/x86 includes asm/efi.h
without also including linux/efi.h, because asm/efi.h makes use of the
definitions in linux/efi.h. Admittedly this whole thing is a little
backwards.

I know that the usual idiom is to include the linux file, but x86 is the
only architecture to provide an asm/efi.h header, which means that to
stick with the usual idiom, we'd need an #ifdef CONFIG_X86 in
linux/efi.h to automatically include the asm file.

Unless we have an empty efi.h in include/asm-generic?

In fact, now I think about it, that would be a much better solution
because there's already a bunch of x86-specific defintions in
linux/efi.h, so the asm-generic/efi.h wouldn't be empty because we could
split out things like...


#ifdef CONFIG_X86
extern void efi_late_init(void);
extern void efi_free_boot_services(void);
extern efi_status_t efi_query_variable_store(u32 attributes, unsigned long size);
#else
static inline void efi_late_init(void) {}
static inline void efi_free_boot_services(void) {}

static inline efi_status_t efi_query_variable_store(u32 attributes, unsigned long size)
{
	return EFI_SUCCESS;
}
#endif


Thoughts?
