Is anybody using EFS on current kernels? There's not much point updating
it to current coding style, deleting fs/efs is probably the best option.

The EFS name is common for several filesystems, not to be confused with
eg.  Encrypted File System. In linux it's the IRIX version, check
Kconfig, and you could hardly find the utilities to create such
filesystem.
