Commit 5d9db88376 ("efi: Add support for a UEFI variable filesystem")
dated Oct 5, 2012, introduced a new efivarfs pseudo-filesystem to
replace the efivars sysfs interface that was used up to that point to
expose EFI variables to user space.
The main problem with the sysfs interface was that it only supported up
to 1024 bytes of payload per file, whereas the underlying variables
themselves are only bounded by a platform specific per-variable and
global limit that is typically much higher than 1024 bytes.
The deprecated sysfs interface is only enabled on x86 and Itanium, other
EFI enabled architectures only support the efivarfs pseudo-filesystem.
So let's finally rip off the band aid, and drop the old interface
entirely. This will make it easier to refactor and clean up the
underlying infrastructure that is shared between efivars, efivarfs and
efi-pstore, and is long overdue for a makeover.

There are two EFI RTC drivers, the original drivers/char/efirtc.c
driver and the more modern drivers/rtc/rtc-efi.c.
Both implement the same interface, but the new one does so
in a more portable way.
Move everything over to that one and remove the old one.

The IOC4 is a multi-function chip seen on SGI SN2 and some SGI MIPS
systems. This removes the base driver, which while not having an SN2
Kconfig dependency was only for sub-drivers that had one.

This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support.
Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of
this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer
to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

Turn on CONFIG_PNPACPI. I recently removed 8250_acpi.c. All devices
previously claimed by 8250_acpi.c should now be claimed by 8250_pnp.c.
This depends on having CONFIG_PNPACPI so ACPI devices show up as PNP
devices.
All other ia64 defconfigs either have CONFIG_PNPACPI already, or
don't have 8250 support turned on at all.

Add driver support for a 2 port PCI IOC3-based serial card on Altix boxes:
This is a re-submission. On the original submission I was asked to
organize the code so that the MIPS ioc3 ethernet and serial parts could be
used with this driver. Stanislaw Skowronek was kind enough to provide the
shim layer for this - thanks Stanislaw. This patch includes the shim layer
and the Altix PCI ioc3 serial driver. The MIPS merged ioc3 ethernet and
serial support is forthcoming.
