[PATCH 3/7] efi: add kernel param efi=noruntime

From: Dave Young
Date: Thu Aug 14 2014 - 05:18:12 EST


noefi kernel param means actually disabling efi runtime, Per suggestion from
Leif Lindholm efi=noruntime should be better. But since noefi is already used
in X86 thus just adding another param efi=noruntime for same purpose.
