libefivar expects opening /dev/efi to indicate if the we can make efi
runtime calls. With a null routine, it was always succeeding leading
efi_variables_supported() to return the wrong value. Only succeed if
we have an efi_runtime table. Also, while I'm hear, out of an
abundance of caution, add a likely redundant check to make sure
efi_systbl is not NULL before dereferencing it. I know it can't be
NULL if efi_cfgtbl is non-NULL, but the compiler doesn't.
Split efirt.ko initialization into early stage where runtime services
KPI environment is created, to be used e.g. for RTC, and the later
devfs node creation stage, per module.
Switch the efi device to use make_dev_s(9) instead of make_dev(9). At
least, this gracefully handles the duplicated device name issue.
Remove ARGSUSED comment from efidev_ioctl(), all unused arguments are
annotated with __unused attribute.
