efi: Convert runtime services function ptrs (2013-06-06 11:07:07 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
* More tweaking to the EFI variable anti-bricking algorithm. Quite a
few users were reporting boot regressions in v3.9. This has now been
fixed with a more accurate "minimum storage requirement to avoid
bricking" value from Samsung (5K instead of 50%) and code to trigger
garbage collection when we near our limit - Matthew Garrett.

* A small cleanup to get rid of all the void * casting that is
prevalent in the EFI code - Borislav Petkov
