+ * Changelog:
+ *
+ *  17 May 2004 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ *   remove check for efi_enabled in exit
+ *   add MODULE_VERSION
+ *
+ *  26 Apr 2004 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ *   minor bug fixes
+ *
+ *  21 Apr 2004 - Matt Tolentino <matthew.e.tolentino@intel.com)
+ *   converted driver to export variable information via sysfs
+ *   and moved to drivers/firmware directory
+ *   bumped revision number to v0.07 to reflect conversion & move
+ *
+ *  10 Dec 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ *   fix locking per Peter Chubb's findings
+ *
+ *  25 Mar 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ *   move uuid_unparse() to include/asm-ia64/efi.h:efi_guid_unparse()
+ *
+ *  12 Feb 2002 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ *   use list_for_each_safe when deleting vars.
+ *   remove ifdef CONFIG_SMP around include <linux/smp.h>
+ *   v0.04 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
+ *
+ *  20 April 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ *   Moved vars from /proc/efi to /proc/efi/vars, and made
+ *   efi.c own the /proc/efi directory.
+ *   v0.03 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
+ *
+ *  26 March 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ *   At the request of Stephane, moved ownership of /proc/efi
+ *   to efi.c, and now efivars lives under /proc/efi/vars.
+ *
+ *  12 March 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
+ *   Feedback received from Stephane Eranian incorporated.
+ *   efivar_write() checks copy_from_user() return value.
+ *   efivar_read/write() returns proper errno.
+ *   v0.02 release to linux-ia64@linuxia64.org
+ *
+ *  26 February 2001 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
