    samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware · e0094244
    Matt Fleming authored Jan 03, 2013
    It has been reported that running this driver on some Samsung laptops
    with EFI can cause those machines to become bricked as detailed in the
    following report,
    
    	https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
    
    There have also been reports of this driver causing Machine Check
    Exceptions on recent EFI-enabled Samsung laptops,
    
    	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
    
    
    
    So disable it if booting from EFI since this driver relies on
    grovelling around in the BIOS memory map which isn't going to work.
