Hi Linus,
The bulk of these changes are cleaning up the efivars handling and
breaking it up into a tree of files. There are a number of fixes as
well.
The entire changeset is pretty big, but most of it is code movement.
Several of these commits are quite new; the history got very messed up
due to a mismerge with the urgent changes for rc8 which completely
broke IA64, and so Ingo requested that we rebase it to straighten it
out.
The following changes since commit c1be5a5b1b355d40e6cf79cc979eb66dafa24ad1:
