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 ]

- *  21 Apr 2004 - Matt Tolentino <matthew.e.tolentino@intel.com)
- *   converted driver to export variable information via sysfs
- *   and moved to drivers/firmware directory
- *   bumped revision number to v0.07 to reflect conversion & move
- *
- *  10 Dec 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   fix locking per Peter Chubb's findings
- *
- *  25 Mar 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>

- *
- *  12 Feb 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   use list_for_each_safe when deleting vars.
- *   remove ifdef CONFIG_SMP around include <linux/smp.h>
- *   v0.04 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
- *
- *  20 April 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   Moved vars from /proc/efi to /proc/efi/vars, and made
- *   efi.c own the /proc/efi directory.
- *   v0.03 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
- *
- *  26 March 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   At the request of Stephane, moved ownership of /proc/efi
- *   to efi.c, and now efivars lives under /proc/efi/vars.
- *
- *  12 March 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   Feedback received from Stephane Eranian incorporated.
- *   efivar_write() checks copy_from_user() return value.
- *   efivar_read/write() returns proper errno.
- *   v0.02 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
