Merge branch 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Rework the EFI capsule loader to allow for workarounds for
     non-compliant firmware (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Implement a capsule loader quirk for Quark X102x (Jan Kiszka)

   - Enable SMBIOS/DMI support for the ARM architecture (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Add CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP=y support for x86-32 and kexec (Sai
     Praneeth)

   - Fixes for EFI support for Xen dom0 guests running under x86-64
     hosts (Daniel Kiper)"

* 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/xen/efi: Initialize only the EFI struct members used by Xen
  efi: Process the MEMATTR table only if EFI_MEMMAP is enabled
  efi/arm: Enable DMI/SMBIOS
  x86/efi: Extend CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP support to x86_32 and kexec as well
  efi/efi_test: Use memdup_user() helper
  efi/capsule: Add support for Quark security header
  efi/capsule-loader: Use page addresses rather than struct page pointers
  efi/capsule-loader: Redirect calls to efi_capsule_setup_info() via weak alias
  efi/capsule: Remove NULL test on kmap()
  efi/capsule-loader: Use a cached copy of the capsule header
  efi/capsule: Adjust return type of efi_capsule_setup_info()
  efi/capsule: Clean up pr_err/_info() messages
  efi/capsule: Remove pr_debug() on ENOMEM or EFAULT
  efi/capsule: Fix return code on failing kmap/vmap
