  x86/efi: Remove unused efi_get_time function (2016-06-23 14:32:14 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * Improve error messages in the efibc driver by providing more
   information about why the errors occurred - Jeremy Compostella

 * Document the formatting of the EFI GUID constants - Peter Jones

 * Remove an unused variable to fix a clang build warning - Colin King

 * Refactor the EFI runtime services code so that it can be used for
   function pointers outside of efi.systab->runtime, e.g. during
   SGI/UV BIOS and EFI mixed mode calls - Alex Thorlton

 * Remove the unused efi_get_time() function which also suffers from
   the 32-bit time_t overflow in 2038 issue - Arnd Bergmann
