    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull EFI updates from Thomas Gleixner:
     "The EFI pile:
    
       - Make mixed mode UEFI runtime service invocations mutually
         exclusive, as mandated by the UEFI spec
    
       - Perform UEFI runtime services calls from a work queue so the calls
         into the firmware occur from a kernel thread
    
       - Honor the UEFI memory map attributes for live memory regions
         configured by UEFI as a framebuffer. This works around a coherency
         problem with KVM guests running on ARM.
    
       - Cleanups, improvements and fixes all over the place"
