    efi: pstore: disentangle from deprecated efivars module · 232f4eb6
    Ard Biesheuvel authored
    The EFI pstore implementation relies on the 'efivars' abstraction,
    which encapsulates the EFI variable store in a way that can be
    overridden by other backing stores, like the Google SMI one.
    
    On top of that, the EFI pstore implementation also relies on the
    efivars.ko module, which is a separate layer built on top of the
    'efivars' abstraction that exposes the [deprecated] sysfs entries
    for each variable that exists in the backing store.
    
    Since the efivars.ko module is deprecated, and all users appear to
    have moved to the efivarfs file system instead, let's prepare for
    its removal, by removing EFI pstore's dependency on it.
