+Description:
+		This directory exposes interfaces for interactive with
+		EFI variables.  For more information on EFI variables,
+		see 'Variable Services' in the UEFI specification
+		(section 7.2 in specification version 2.3 Errata D).
+
+		In summary, EFI variables are named, and are classified
+		into separate namespaces through the use of a vendor
+		GUID.  They also have an arbitrary binary value
+		associated with them.
+
+		The efivars module enumerates these variables and
+		creates a separate directory for each one found.  Each
+		directory has a name of the form "<key>-<vendor guid>"
+		and contains the following files:
+
+		attributes:	A read-only text file enumerating the
+				EFI variable flags.  Potential values
+				include:
+
+				EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE
+				EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS
+				EFI_VARIABLE_RUNTIME_ACCESS
+				EFI_VARIABLE_HARDWARE_ERROR_RECORD
+				EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS
+
+				See the EFI documentation for an
+				explanation of each of these variables.
+
+		data:		A read-only binary file that can be read
+				to attain the value of the EFI variable
+
+		guid:		The vendor GUID of the variable.  This
+				should always match the GUID in the
+				variable's name.
+
+		raw_var:	A binary file that can be read to obtain
+				a structure that contains everything
+				there is to know about the variable.
+				For structure definition see "struct
+				efi_variable" in the kernel sources.
+
+				This file can also be written to in
+				order to update the value of a variable.
+				For this to work however, all fields of
+				the "struct efi_variable" passed must
+				match byte for byte with the structure
+				read out of the file, save for the value
+				portion.
+
+				**Note** the efi_variable structure
+				read/written with this file contains a
+				'long' type that may change widths
+				depending on your underlying
+				architecture.
+
+		size:		As ASCII representation of the size of
+				the variable's value.
+
+
+		In addition, two other magic binary files are provided
+		in the top-level directory and are used for adding and
+		removing variables:
+
+		new_var:	Takes a "struct efi_variable" and
+				instructs the EFI firmware to create a
+				new variable.
+
+		del_var:	Takes a "struct efi_variable" and
+				instructs the EFI firmware to remove any
+				variable that has a matching vendor GUID
+				and variable key name.

+Description:	Generic interface to platform dependent persistent storage.
+
+		Platforms that provide a mechanism to preserve some data
+		across system reboots can register with this driver to
+		provide a generic interface to show records captured in
+		the dying moments.  In the case of a panic the last part
+		of the console log is captured, but other interesting
+		data can also be saved.
+
+		# mount -t pstore -o kmsg_bytes=8000 - /dev/pstore
+
+		$ ls -l /dev/pstore
+		total 0
+		-r--r--r-- 1 root root 7896 Nov 30 15:38 dmesg-erst-1
+
+		Different users of this interface will result in different
+		filename prefixes.  Currently two are defined:
+
+		"dmesg"	- saved console log
+		"mce"	- architecture dependent data from fatal h/w error
+
+		Once the information in a file has been read, removing
+		the file will signal to the underlying persistent storage
+		device that it can reclaim the space for later re-use.
+
+		$ rm /dev/pstore/dmesg-erst-1
+
+		The expectation is that all files in /dev/pstore
+		will be saved elsewhere and erased from persistent store
+		soon after boot to free up space ready for the next
+		catastrophe.
+
+		The 'kmsg_bytes' mount option changes the target amount of
+		data saved on each oops/panic. Pstore saves (possibly
+		multiple) files based on the record size of the underlying
+		persistent storage until at least this amount is reached.
+		Default is 10 Kbytes.
