Remove noefi and acpi_rsdp for EFI firmware #8

Closed joeyli closed 5 years ago

joeyli commented 5 years ago

The noefi and acpi_rsdp can be removed because kernel passes necessary EFI data for hexec via setup_data since 1fec05336 patch be introduced in v3.14 kernel. (bsc#1098210)

On the other hand, the MOK (machine owner key) doesn't work with noefi. It causes that three-party signed kernel module can not be loaded by crash kernel. Crash kernel can provide EFI runtime services for loading MOK after noefi be removed. (bsc#1123940)

The kdump without noefi has been tested on Huawei Kunlun, Intel minnowboard and KVM-OVMF.
