x86, efivars: firmware bug workarounds should be in platform code
Let's not burden ia64 with checks in the common efivars code that we're not writing too much data to the variable store. That kind of thing is an x86 firmware bug, plain and simple. efi_query_variable_store() provides platforms with a wrapper in which they can perform checks and workarounds for EFI variable storage bugs.
