Subject: [PATCH 70/72] efivars: Allow disabling use as a pstore backend
3.5.7.11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Seth Forshee <seth.forshee@...onical.com>
commit ed9dc8ce7a1c8115dba9483a9b51df8b63a2e0ef upstream.
Add a new option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE, which can be set to N to
avoid using efivars as a backend to pstore, as some users may want to
compile out the code completely.
Set the default to Y to maintain backwards compatability, since this
feature has always been enabled until now.
