Some of the EFI variable attributes are missing from print out from
/sys/firmware/efi/vars/*/attributes. This patch adds those in. It also
updates code to use pre-defined constants for masking current value
of attributes.

This patch replaces the previous macro of CONFIG_PM with
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP becasue firmware cache is only used in

Recently firmware loader code has been cleaned up much and
cache/uncache firmware mechanism is introduced, so later
drivers should apply the mechanism to solve the problem
of firmware lost during suspend/resume cycle.
For the sake of helping the related problems, I'd like to

After starting caching firmware, there is still some time left
before devices are suspended, during the period, request_firmware
or its nowait version may still be triggered by the below situations
to load firmware images which can't be cached during suspend/resume
cycle.
- new devices added
- driver bind
- or device open kind of things
This patch utilizes the piggyback trick to cache firmware for
this kind of situation: just increase the firmware buf's reference
count and add the fw name entry into cache entry list after starting
caching firmware and before syscore_suspend() is called.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is a very old option, back when we had static systems and it was
odd that any type of device would be removed or added after the system had
started up. It is quite hard to disable it these days, and even if you do, it
only saves you about 200 bytes. However, if it is disabled, lots of bugs show
up because it is almost never tested if the option is disabled.
This is a step to eventually just remove the option entirely, which will clean
up all of the devinit* variable and function pointer options, that everyone
(myself include) ends up getting wrong eventually, causing real problems when
memory segments are removed yet we don't expect them to be.

There are two reasons we need to use x86_hyper instead of
query_hypervisor_presence():
- Not only hyperv but also other hypervisors such as kvm would set
X86_FEATURE_HYTPERVISOR, so query_hypervisor_presence() will return true even
in kvm. This may cause extra delay of 5 seconds before failing the probing in
kvm guest.
- The hypervisor has been detected in init_hypervisor(), so no need to do the
work again.
