Merge branch 'x86-efi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 EFI updates from Peter Anvin: "This patchset falls under the "maintainers that grovel" clause in the v3.18-rc1 announcement. We had intended to push it late in the merge window since we got it into the -tip tree relatively late.
