Ard Biesheuvel bf67fad19e efi: Use more granular check for availability for variable services
The UEFI spec rev 2.8 permits firmware implementations to support only
a subset of EFI runtime services at OS runtime (i.e., after the call to
ExitBootServices()), so let's take this into account in the drivers that
rely specifically on the availability of the EFI variable services.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
