       - Fix logic that is supposed to prevent placement of the kernel image
         below LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR
      
       - Use the firmware stack in the EFI stub when running in mixed mode
      
       - Clear BSS only once when using mixed mode
      
       - Check efi.get_variable() function pointer for NULL before trying to
         call it

      Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
      
       - Ensure that the encryption mask at boot is properly propagated on
         5-level page tables, otherwise the PGD entry is incorrectly set to
         non-encrypted, which causes system crashes during boot.
      
       - Undo the deferred 5-level page table setup as it cannot work with
         memory encryption enabled.
      
       - Prevent inconsistent XFD state on CPU hotplug, where the MSR is reset
         to the default value but the cached variable is not, so subsequent
         comparisons might yield the wrong result and as a consequence the
         result prevents updating the MSR.
      
       - Register the local APIC address only once in the MPPARSE enumeration
         to prevent triggering the related WARN_ONs() in the APIC and topology
         code.
      
       - Handle the case where no APIC is found gracefully by registering a
         fake APIC in the topology code. That makes all related topology
         functions work correctly and does not affect the actual APIC driver
         code at all.
      
       - Don't evaluate logical IDs during early boot as the local APIC IDs
         are not yet enumerated and the invoked function returns an error
         code. Nothing requires the logical IDs before the final CPUID
         enumeration takes place, which happens after the enumeration.
      
       - Cure the fallout of the per CPU rework on UP which misplaced the
         copying of boot_cpu_data to per CPU data so that the final update to
         boot_cpu_data got lost which caused inconsistent state and boot
         crashes.
      
       - Use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in the kprobes setup as there is no
         guarantee that the address can be safely accessed.
      
       - Reorder struct members in struct saved_context to work around another
         kmemleak false positive
      
       - Remove the buggy code which tries to update the E820 kexec table for
         setup_data as that is never passed to the kexec kernel.
      
       - Update the resource control documentation to use the proper units.
      
       - Fix a Kconfig warning observed with tinyconfig

       "A single update for the documentation of the base_slice_ns tunable to
        clarify that any value which is less than the tick slice has no effect
