Mark Salter 0302f71c0a efi: add helper function to get UEFI params from FDT
ARM and ARM64 architectures use the device tree to pass UEFI parameters
from stub to kernel. These parameters are things known to the stub but
not discoverable by the kernel after the stub calls ExitBootSerives().
There is a helper function in:

   drivers/firmware/efi/fdt.c

which the stub uses to add the UEFI parameters to the device tree.
This patch adds a complimentary helper function which UEFI runtime
support may use to retrieve the parameters from the device tree.
If an architecture wants to use this helper, it should select
CONFIG_EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT.

help
If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
<http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

Say Y here to enable use efivars as a backend to pstore. This
will allow writing console messages, crash dumps, or anything
else supported by pstore to EFI variables.

Saying Y here will disable the use of efivars as a storage

using the efivars module's pstore_disable parameter.

Export efi runtime memory maps to /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map.
That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up efi virtual
mapping the 2nd kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes.
See also Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-efi-runtime-map.

the EFI runtime support gets system table address, memory
map address, and other parameters from the device tree.
