"First pile out of several (there _definitely_ will be more). Stuff in
this one:
- unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique()
- iov_iter rewrite
- killing a bunch of ->f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).
Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few. Which allows to have
file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry
pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.
Still not complete, but much closer now.
- crapectomy in lustre (dead code removal, mostly)
- "let's make seq_printf return nothing" preparations
- assorted cleanups and fixes
There _definitely_ will be more piles"

There is no need to keep the module loaded when it serves no function in
case the EFI runtime services are disabled. Return an error in this case
so loading the module will fail.
Also supply a module_exit function to allow unloading the module.
Last, but not least, set the owner of the file_system_type struct.

Rename simple_delete_dentry() to always_delete_dentry() and export it.
Export simple_dentry_operations, while we are at it, and get rid of
their duplicates

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or
only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb).
A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode -
the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with
NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply
treated as cache miss.

Previously in 1fa7e69 efi_status_to_err() translated firmware status
EFI_NOT_FOUND to -EIO instead of -ENOENT for efivarfs operations to
avoid confusion. After refactoring in e14ab23, it is also used in other
places where the translation may be unnecessary.
So move the translation to efivarfs specific code. Also return EOF
for reading zero-length files, which is what users would expect.

Misc cleanups all over the place, mainly wrt /proc interfaces (switch
create_proc_entry to proc_create(), get rid of the deprecated
create_proc_read_entry() in favor of using proc_create_data() and
seq_file etc).
7kloc removed.

This registers /sys/firmware/efi/{,systab,efivars/} whenever EFI is enabled
and the system is booted with EFI.
This allows
*) userspace to check for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi as a way
to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system.
*) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually
loading any modules.
[ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it.
This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs
variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c
filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old
efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs
to be built without CONFIG_EFI_VARS - Matt ]

Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and
into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us
to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable
CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa.
Furthermore, things like,
mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the
use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the
efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.
