There is no advantage to keep 'struct file_operations.open & .close'
API's. So removed the unnecessary code efi_rtc_open & efi_rtc_close.

Variants of proc_create{,_data} that directly take a seq_file show
callback and drastically reduces the boilerplate code in the callers.
All trivial callers converted over.

The Kconfig for this driver is currently:
config EFI_RTC
bool "EFI Real Time Clock Services"
...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove all modular references, so that when reading the driver
there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit.
We leave some tags like MODULE_LICENSE for documentation purposes.

Don't use create_proc_read_entry() as that is deprecated, but rather use
proc_create_data() and seq_file instead.

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h preparatory to splitting and killing
it. Performed with the following command:
perl -p -i -e 's!^#\s*include\s*<asm/system[.]h>.*\n!!' `grep -Irl '^#\s*include\s*<asm/system[.]h>' *`

Now that we've removed the BKL here, let's explicitly set llseek to
no_llseek since the default llseek is not used here.
The default_llseek function still contains the BKL. When we are auditing
code to see if we can remove the BKL, this is one of the hidden
considerations we need to take into account. i.e., is there
syncronization between code that has the BKL and llseek.
At the same time we remove the BKL it would be a good idea to do indicate
when no llseek function is required, so we don't have to revisit this code
again, when we are trying to determine if we can remove the BKL from the
default_llseek.

BKL locking came to efirtc via the big BKL push down, but the access
to the efi functions is protected by efi_rtc_lock already.
Remove it.

Push it down as far as the EFI method calls. Someone who knows EFI can do
the other bits. Also fix another wrong unknown ioctl return.

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
