FWIW I'm much happier with this version than v4. There's nothing that
jumps out at me as being obviously wrong. Just a few minor cleanups
needed.

Which tree is this intended to go through? I'm more than happy to take
it through the EFI tree, particularly since it touches
include/linux/efi.h and drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c which is the core EFI
interface for all platforms.

But if it's going through the Xen tree or something, I can supply my
Acked-by's (once the aforementioned minor cleanups are taken care of).
