Subject: [PATCH] export efi.flags to sysfs


For efi=old_map and any old_map quirks like SGI UV in current
tree kexec/kdump will fail because it depends on the new 1:1 mapping.

Thus export the mapping method to sysfs so kexec tools can switch
to original way to boot.

Since we have efi.flags for all efi facilities so let's just export the
efi.flags itself, it maybe useful for other arches and use cases.
