Message-Id: <1194831950.17223.44.camel@caritas-dev.intel.com> Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 09:45:50 +0800 From: "Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@...el.com> To: torvalds@...ux-foundation.org Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com>, Andi Kleen <ak@...e.de>, "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@....net>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Could you please merge the x86_64 EFI boot support patchset? Hi, Linus, Could you please merge the following patchset: [PATCH 0/2 -v3] x86_64 EFI boot support [PATCH 1/2 -v3] x86_64 EFI boot support: EFI frame buffer driver [PATCH 2/2 -v3] x86_64 EFI boot support: EFI boot document The patchset has been in -mm tree from 2.6.23-rc2-mm2 on. Andrew Moton had suggested it to be merged into 2.6.24 during early merge window of 2.6.24. It was not merged because the 32-bit boot protocol had not been done at that time. Now, the 32-bit boot protocol has been merged into 2.6.24. And this patch has been in x86 patch queue. I know that it is a little late for this patchset to be merged into 2.6.24. But this patchset is very simple, just adds a framebuffer driver, so it is impossible for this patchset to break anything. And this patchset will be helpful for people have machine with UEFI 64 firmware instead of legacy BIOS.
