Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/efi changes for v3.10

Hi Linus,

The bulk of these changes are cleaning up the efivars handling and
breaking it up into a tree of files.  There are a number of fixes as
well.

The entire changeset is pretty big, but most of it is code movement.

Several of these commits are quite new; the history got very messed up
due to a mismerge with the urgent changes for rc8 which completely
broke IA64, and so Ingo requested that we rebase it to straighten it
out.

The following changes since commit c1be5a5b1b355d40e6cf79cc979eb66dafa24ad1:

  Linux 3.9 (2013-04-28 17:36:01 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:
