Public bug reported:

We're getting efi_runtime build warnings with recent kernels:

make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-25-generic'
  CC [M]  /home/king/tmp/fwts/efi_runtime/efi_runtime.o
/home/king/tmp/fwts/efi_runtime/efi_runtime.c: In function ‘efi_runtime_init’:
/home/king/tmp/fwts/efi_runtime/efi_runtime.c:364:6: warning: the address of 
‘efi_enabled’ will always evaluate as ‘true’ [-Waddress]

This occurs because of kernel commit 83e681897 which turned efi_enabled
from an integer into a function, hence efi_enabled will always now
evaluate as true.
