Most of the new lines you add to efivars.c should be inside
#ifdef CONFIG_PSTORE
...
#endif
so that they don't bloat the kernel if PSTORE isn't configured.
I may have made a poor decision having drivers/acpi/apei/Kconfig
do a "select PSTORE" for the ACPI_APEI option.
It should probably be a normal "def_bool n" sort of thing.
