Merge tag 'efi-for-3.9-rc3' into x86/urgent
EFI changes for v3.9-rc3, * A new config option and efivars module parameter have been added to allow the efivars pstore backend to be disabled as we're still seeing issues on machines despite adding heuristics to workaround known bugs. Distributions now have a way to disable EFI variable pstore code completely - from Seth Forshee. * A couple of efivars patches to workaround quirky implementations of GetNextVariableName() which resulted in machines hanging and sysfs files being created with garbage names.
