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 ]

tristate "EFI Variable filesystem"
|
|
depends on EFI
|
|
help
|
|
efivarfs is a replacement filesystem for the old EFI
|
|
variable support via sysfs, as it doesn't suffer from the
|
|
same 1024-byte variable size limit.
|
|
|
|
To compile this file system support as a module, choose M
|
|
here. The module will be called efivarfs.

If unsure, say N.
