[patch 35/60] x86: fix DMI on EFI

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Brian Maly <bmaly@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit ff0c0874905fb312ca1491bbdac2653b0b48c20b upstream.

Impact: reactivate DMI quirks on EFI hardware

DMI tables are loaded by EFI, so the dmi calls must happen after
efi_init() and not before.

Currently Apple hardware uses DMI to determine the framebuffer mappings
for efifb. Without DMI working you also have no video on MacBook Pro.

This patch resolves the DMI issue for EFI hardware (DMI is now properly
detected at boot), and additionally efifb now loads on Apple hardware
(i.e. video works).
