The efivars code requires EFI runtime services to function, so check
that they are enabled.
This fixes a crash when booting with the "noefi" kernel parameter, and
also when mixing kernel and firmware "bitness", e.g. 32-bit kernel with
64-bit firmware.

The loop in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() reuses the same allocation for
entries each time it calls efivar_create_sysfs_entry(entry). This is
wrong because efivar_create_sysfs_entry() expects to keep the memory it
was passed, so the caller may not free it (and may not pass the same
memory in multiple times). This leads to the oops below. Fix by
getting a new allocation each time we go around the loop.

Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,
Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).

This registers /sys/firmware/efi/{,systab,efivars/} whenever EFI is enabled
and the system is booted with EFI.
This allows
*) userspace to check for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi as a way
to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system.
*) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually
loading any modules.
[ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it.
This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs
variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c
filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old
efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs
to be built without CONFIG_EFI_VARS - Matt ]
