[PATCH 44/50] efivars: Make efivars bin_attributes dynamic

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Mar 16 2011 - 17:21:36 EST


From: Mike Waychison <mikew@xxxxxxxxxx>

In preparation for encapsulating efivars, we need to have the
bin_attributes be dynamically allocated so that we can use their
->private fields to get back to the struct efivars structure.
