Subject: [PATCH V2 0/4] efi/x86: move efi bgrt init code to early init

Hi,

Here the the update of the series for moving bgrt init code to early init.

Main changes is:
- Move the 1st patch to the last because it does not block the 2nd patch
any more with Peter's patch to prune invlid memmap entries:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi.git/commit/?h=next&id=b2a91
a35445229
But it is still tood to have since efi_mem_reserve only cares about boot related
mem ranges.

- Other comments about code itself, details please the the patches themselves.
