  • Pull VFS updates from Al Viro,

    Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
    create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
    create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
    seq_file etc).

    7kloc removed.

  • Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and
    into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us
    to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable
    CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa.

    Furthermore, things like,

    mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

    will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the
    use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the
    efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.
