- *   minor bug fixes
- *
- *  21 Apr 2004 - Matt Tolentino <matthew.e.tolentino@intel.com)
- *   converted driver to export variable information via sysfs
- *   and moved to drivers/firmware directory
- *   bumped revision number to v0.07 to reflect conversion & move
- *
- *  10 Dec 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   fix locking per Peter Chubb's findings
- *
- *  25 Mar 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   move uuid_unparse() to include/asm-ia64/efi.h:efi_guid_unparse()
- *
- *  12 Feb 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   use list_for_each_safe when deleting vars.
- *   remove ifdef CONFIG_SMP around include <linux/smp.h>
- *   v0.04 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
- *
- *  20 April 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   Moved vars from /proc/efi to /proc/efi/vars, and made
- *   efi.c own the /proc/efi directory.
- *   v0.03 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
- *
- *  26 March 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   At the request of Stephane, moved ownership of /proc/efi
- *   to efi.c, and now efivars lives under /proc/efi/vars.
- *
- *  12 March 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
- *   Feedback received from Stephane Eranian incorporated.
- *   efivar_write() checks copy_from_user() return value.
- *   efivar_read/write() returns proper errno.
- *   v0.02 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
