[PATCH][Quantal][SRU] UBUNTU: SAUCE: samsung-laptop: disable in UEFI mode

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

Disable this driver if we've booted in UEFI mode as some Samsungs
seem to get bricked and are rendered unbootable when this driver
tries to poke around the BIOS controls when in UEFI.
