I spent all day staring at the skiboot bits of this, so I figured I
should see what the kernel bits looked like too...

On the last version of this patch set (posted by Claudio) Matthew
Garret was pretty explicit about the interface here not conforming to
the expectations of efivars[1], so what's changed in this patch set to
fix that?

As far as I can tell it's has the same basic problems as before, just
with a slightly different OPAL interface.

All of this is *very* powernv specific, so why is it here and not in
arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/ with the rest of the powernv platform
code? Also, nothing about this is generic to powerpc as a whole so the
Kconfig symbol should probably be change the Kconfig symbol to
POWERNV_SECURE_BOOT or OPAL_SECURE_BOOT

Seems a bit sketch.

Again, this is all powernv specific and not generic to all powerpc
platforms.

Uh... That is going to need an Ack from someone in EFI land.

These should be on the stack, They're small and you free them almost
immediately after allocating them.

As far as I can tell the UEFI spec says the key namespace is really
made up of (vendor, key) tuples. This seems broken to me since it's
ignoring the vendor GUID part and treating it purely as an output, so
if we had two vendors (OS vendors maybe?) writing using the same key
name it'll cause problems.

You could fix that by concatenating the vendor GUID and the ucs-2 name
string, then passing that to OPAL as the key. Based on what the gsmi
driver does I don't think we really need to store the attributes either
so the metadata channel can be ditched entirely.
