From 62c204ddfe9649f0b1d273549f4bd68c23ed7c0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leif Lindholm Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2014 17:50:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fs: Make efivarfs a pseudo filesystem, built by default with EFI efivars is currently enabled under MISC_FILESYSTEMS, which is decribed as "such as filesystems that came from other operating systems". In reality, it is a pseudo filesystem, providing access to the kernel UEFI variable interface. Since this is the preferred interface for accessing UEFI variables, over the legacy efivars interface, also build it by default as a module if CONFIG_EFI.
