    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 EFI changes from Ingo Molnar:
     "Main changes:
    
       - Add support for earlyprintk=efi which uses the EFI framebuffer.
         Very useful for debugging boot problems.
    
       - EFI stub support for large memory maps (more than 128 entries)
    
       - EFI ARM support - this was mostly done by generalizing x86 <-> ARM
         platform differences, such as by moving x86 EFI code into
         drivers/firmware/efi/ and sharing it with ARM.
    
       - Documentation updates
    
       - misc fixes"
