Hi Ard,

The following commit on the tip tree removes the variables 'config_table' from the efi structure.

    9cd437ac0ef4 ("efi/x86: Make fw_vendor, config_table and runtime sysfs nodes x86 specific")

But the external driver "capsule-pstore.ko" needs to access 'config_table' and 'nr_tables' to go through
the configuration table to extract crash capsules.

Adding 'config_table' and 'nr_tables' back to the efi structure looks like not a good way. 
Do you have any  suggestion on how to export 'config_table' and 'nr_tables' variables for the external driver "capsule-pstore.ko"?

Thanks!
