I broke up the efivars driver update patch I had sent out quite a while ago
into several smaller patches. This includes several fixes and suggestions
that were pointed out. The patches are broken down as follows:
1 - remove all traces of efivars from arch/ia64/
2 - add new sysfs based efivars driver into
drivers/firmware with accompanying Kconfig/Makefile
changes to make it fully functional for ia64 again.
3 - cleans up x86 references to the /proc version of
the efivars driver.
