From ed9dc8ce7a1c8115dba9483a9b51df8b63a2e0ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seth Forshee Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 11:40:17 -0600 Subject: efivars: Allow disabling use as a pstore backend 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.
