    Merge branch 'x86-efi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · b9394d8a
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86/efi changes from Peter Anvin:
     "The bulk of these changes are cleaning up the efivars handling and
      breaking it up into a tree of files.  There are a number of fixes as
      well.
    
      The entire changeset is pretty big, but most of it is code movement.
    
      Several of these commits are quite new; the history got very messed up
      due to a mismerge with the urgent changes for rc8 which completely
      broke IA64, and so Ingo requested that we rebase it to straighten it
      out."
