efi: split efisubsystem from efivars
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 ]
