Some pstore implementations may not have a static context, so extend the
API to pass the pstore_info struct to all calls and allow for a context
pointer.

EFI only provides small amounts of individual storage, and conventionally
puts metadata in the storage variable name. Rather than add a metadata
header to the (already limited) variable storage, it's easier for us to
modify pstore to pass all the information we need to construct a unique
variable name to the appropriate functions.

We'll never have a negative part, so just make this an unsigned int.

pstore only allows one backend to be registered at present, but the
system may provide several. Add a parameter to allow the user to choose
which backend will be used rather than just relying on load order.

EFI provides an area of nonvolatile storage managed by the firmware. We
can use this as a pstore backend to maintain copies of oopses, aiding
diagnosis.

From: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com>

Fix the string functions in the efivars driver to be called utf16_*
instead of utf8_* as the encoding is utf16, not utf8.

As well, rename utf16_strlen to utf16_strnlen as it takes a maxlength
argument and the name should be consistent with the standard C function
names.  utf16_strlen is still provided for convenience in a subsequent
patch.

From: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com>

Instead of open-coding the string operations for comparing the prefix of
the variable names, use the provided utf16_* string functions.

This patch also changes the calls to efi.set_variable to
efivars->ops->set_variable so that the right function gets called in the
case of gsmi (which doesn't have a valid efi structure).

As well, make sure that we only consider variables with the right vendor
string.

I just read through these and it looks good to me.

We can deal with the unload side of things when needed.

When building with CONFIG_PSTORE=n, I see a warning:

drivers/firmware/efivars.c:161: warning: ‘utf16_strlen’ defined but not used

I can just slap:

#ifdef CONFIG_PSTORE
...
#endif

around this function definition - but I wondered if there was a better way
to fix it?

-Tony

Also with CONFIG_PSTORE=n I see:
drivers/firmware/efivars.c:602: warning: initialization from
incompatible pointer type
but that one just needs the stub definition of "efi_pstore_write" to
match the real
definition with "part" being unsigned.
