Since the removal of the deprecated efivars sysfs interface there are no users of the efivars kobject, which can be removed. Included is also a related patch changing the return type of efivar_supports_writes() to match the new efivar_is_available() function. Note that I intend to use efivar_is_available() in a driver with optional EFI support (hence the dummy implementation) and the removal of the kobject will simplify the upcoming Qualcomm UEFI Secure Application driver somewhat too.
