SubjectRE: [PATCH] don't select EFI from certain special ACPI drivers

Thanks, Tony. I'm afraid though that fixing this only in 3.14 would
be a little late: Any "select" in a Kconfig results in the user not being
asked again when that "select" goes away, so people having got EFI
forcibly enabled in 3.13 and updating their configs to 3.14 would
then need to remember to manually disable CONFIG_EFI again (of
course that's already true for anyone using 3.13-rc?, but those
should mostly be people more knowledgeable than folks just
consuming final releases).

I think it should generally be the exception to "select" options that
have visible prompts (i.e. are user configurable).
