The EFI pstore implementation relies on the 'efivars' abstraction, which encapsulates the EFI variable store in a way that can be overridden by other backing stores, like the Google SMI one. On top of that, the EFI pstore implementation also relies on the efivars.ko module, which is a separate layer built on top of the 'efivars' abstraction that exposes the [deprecated] sysfs entries for each variable that exists in the backing store. Since the efivars.ko module is deprecated, and all users appear to have moved to the efivarfs file system instead, let's prepare for its removal, by removing EFI pstore's dependency on it.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
