    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main changes in this cycle were:
    
       - Cleanup of the GOP [graphics output] handling code in the EFI stub
    
       - Complete refactoring of the mixed mode handling in the x86 EFI stub
    
       - Overhaul of the x86 EFI boot/runtime code
    
       - Increase robustness for mixed mode code
    
       - Add the ability to disable DMA at the root port level in the EFI
         stub
    
       - Get rid of RWX mappings in the EFI memory map and page tables,
         where possible
    
       - Move the support code for the old EFI memory mapping style into its
         only user, the SGI UV1+ support code.
    
       - plus misc fixes, updates, smaller cleanups.
    
      ... and due to interactions with the RWX changes, another round of PAT
      cleanups make a guest appearance via the EFI tree - with no side
      effects intended"
