This could do with some more information, and include that the key is
used to validate hibernate images.

But now that I think about it, is there a reason this patch hasn't
been merged with patch 6? The memory leak I mentioned in patch 6
becomes a non-issue in this one, so it would be good if these two
could be squashed together.

One thing to be aware of is that eboot.c has mainly used the
"reverse-christmas-tree" style of variable declarations, with longer
lines first, and shorter ones following. I haven't mentioned it before
because none of your changes seemed to be too different (and it's not
a tree-wide convention), but the above setup_data line goes a bit too
far.

Could you try and keep them ordered, longest line first?

Please add braces for the 'else' clause. Also, please include a
comment stating that the reason you jump to the label instead of
returning is so that the EFI status error code can be recorded in
hibernation_setup_data.

This label name is a little confusing because you reach it both when
the EFI boot variable was successfully created and when a bogus EFI
variable failed to be deleted, i.e. it's not always reached because of
a failure.

How about 'setup' or simply 'out' ?
