    samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware

This is also before the DMI quirks, ex.

        if (efi_enabled(EFI_BOOT))
                return -ENODEV;

        quirks = &samsung_unknown;
        if (!force && !dmi_check_system(samsung_dmi_table))
                return -ENODEV;

I am not aware of any updates on Samsung vs. Linux with EFI. It is really up to Samsung to make sure their BIOS doesn't get corrupted, so I guess this bug is a "won't fix".
