The kernel EFS code has been unmaintained for over twenty years.
It was superseded on IRIX around thirty years ago.  I haven't seen an
EFS filesystem in the wild since 1999.  Userspace tools to read EFS
filesystems exist, such as https://github.com/jkbenaim/efsextract

There's no benefit to keeping this filesystem in the kernel, and it only
increases the maintenance burden for tree-wide changes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
