After the vga console no longer relies on global screen_info, there are only two remaining use cases: - on the x86 architecture, it is used for multiple boot methods (bzImage, EFI, Xen, kexec) to commucate the initial VGA or framebuffer settings to a number of device drivers. - on other architectures, it is only used as part of the EFI stub, and only for the three sysfb framebuffers (simpledrm, simplefb, efifb). Remove the duplicate data structure definitions by moving it into the efi-init.c file that sets it up initially for the EFI case, leaving x86 as an exception that retains its own definition for non-EFI boots. The added #ifdefs here are optional, I added them to further limit the reach of screen_info to configurations that have at least one of the users enabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
