The problem is this:

arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:75: undefined reference to `efi'

To quote section 20: "... Thus, you still have to use an #ifdef if the code
inside the block references symbols that will not exist if the condition is
not met."

Other stuff in the same function is contingent on CONFIG_EFI. EFI_STUB is to
do with how the thing can be booted, I think - not whether EFI support is
enabled.
