Kweh, Hock Leong 65117f1aa1 efi: Add misc char driver interface to update EFI firmware
This patch introduces a kernel module to expose a capsule loader
interface (misc char device file note) for users to upload capsule
binaries.

Example:

  cat firmware.bin > /dev/efi_capsule_loader

Any upload error will be returned while doing "cat" through file
operation write() function call.

help
If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
available from:
<http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>
Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at:

else supported by pstore to EFI variables.

using the efivars module's pstore_disable parameter.

help
Export efi runtime memory maps to /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map.
That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up efi virtual
mapping the 2nd kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes.
See also Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-efi-runtime-map.

Saying Y here will enable "efi_fake_mem" boot option.
By specifying this parameter, you can add arbitrary attribute
to specific memory range by updating original (firmware provided)
EFI memmap.
This is useful for debugging of EFI memmap related feature.
e.g. Address Range Mirroring feature.

---help---
This module installs a reboot hook, such that if reboot() is
invoked with a string argument NNN, "NNN" is copied to the
"LoaderEntryOneShot" EFI variable, to be read by the
bootloader. If the string matches one of the boot labels
defined in its configuration, the bootloader will boot once
to that label. The "LoaderEntryRebootReason" EFI variable is
set with the reboot reason: "reboot" or "shutdown". The
bootloader reads this reboot reason and takes particular
action according to its policy.

help
This option exposes a loader interface "/dev/efi_capsule_loader" for
users to load EFI capsules. This driver requires working runtime
capsule support in the firmware, which many OEMs do not provide.
Most users should say N.
