[PATCH 01/40] efi: Get rid of EFI_SYSTEM_TABLES status bit

From: Matt Fleming
Date: Mon Apr 25 2016 - 16:17:19 EST


From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>

The EFI_SYSTEM_TABLES status bit is set by all EFI supporting architectures
upon discovery of the EFI system table, but the bit is never tested in any
code we have in the tree. So remove it.
