Great, thanks Josh.

I'm gonna queue up this revert to fix Maarten's boot issue, along with
the patch to drop the "setup_efi_pci() failed!" message, and send a pull
request to the tip folks.

Meanwhile, I've upgraded one of my test machines to Fedora 20 with grub2
and can reproduce the issue that you and Linus were hitting before the
GOT patch revert. I'll take a look at figuring out what on earth is
going on there.
