efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities

2013-01-30T19:51:59Z

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

x86/reboot: Remove quirk entry for SBC FITPC

2012-10-04T10:22:32Z

Remove the quirk for the SBC FITPC. It seems ot have been required when the default was kbd reboot, but no longer required now that the default is acpi reboot. Furthermore, BIOS reboot no longer works for this board as of 2.6.39 or any of the 3.x kernels.

x86, reboot: Drop redundant write of reboot_mode

2012-06-21T04:18:14Z

We write reboot_mode to BIOS location 0x472 in native_machine_emergency_restart() (reboot.c:542) already, there is no need to then write it again in machine_real_restart(). This means nothing gets written there for MRR_APM, but the APM call is a poweroff call and doesn't use this memory location.
