Remove the obsolete 'efivars' sysfs based interface to the EFI variable
store, now that all users have moved to the efivarfs pseudo file system,
which was created ~10 years ago to address some fundamental shortcomings
in the sysfs based driver.
Move the 'business logic' related to which EFI variables are important
and may affect the boot flow from the efivars support layer into the
efivarfs pseudo file system, so it is no longer exposed to other parts
of the kernel.
