Thanks for reviewing and testing! I've added your Reviewed-by and
Tested-by tags to all 5 patches (but not the one you authored). I found
a bug in PATCH 3, so I've sent out a v3 of the series.

Peter, I've pulled these 6 patches into the 'chainsaw' branch in the EFI
repo. I think the prudent thing to do (as you previously suggested) is
to merge that branch into tip as a separate topic branch, just in case
we need to drop it before the merge window opens.
