Ard Biesheuvel fd26830423 efi/x86: Drop 'systab' member from struct efi
The systab member in struct efi has outlived its usefulness, now that
we have better ways to access the only piece of information we are
interested in after init, which is the EFI runtime services table
address. So instead of instantiating a doctored copy at early boot
with lots of mangled values, and switching the pointer when switching
into virtual mode, let's grab the values we need directly, and get
rid of the systab pointer entirely.

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.
