Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/boot changes for v3.8

Linus,

Please pull the latest x86-boot-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-boot-for-linus

   HEAD: 6e87f9b7e48e165cb8e6092b9abe682e7065614a arch/x86/Kconfig: Allow turning off CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE when either ACPI or SFI is present

Two small changes: a cleanup and allow CONFIG_X86_MPPARSE to be 
turned off on SFI as well.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
