Subject: [GIT PULL] EFI changes

Hi,

These changes are targetted for the next merge window. Is it possible to
get them into linux-next for some vigorous testing? The pending ARM EFI
boot stub patches from Roy Franz depend on the x86 EFI boot stub
cleanups included in this pull request.

The following changes since commit 6e4664525b1db28f8c4e1130957f70a94c19213e:

  Linux 3.11 (2013-09-02 13:46:10 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:

  x86 efi: bugfix interrupt disabling sequence (2013-09-30 10:23:11 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * Delete redundant interrupt descriptor table code in the EFI boot stub
   and reposition the interrupt disable instruction to avoid a potential
   triple fault - Bart Kuivenhoven

 * Mark local function static to avoid sparse warnings - Bojan Prtvar

 * EFI boot stub support for memory maps with more than 128 entries -
   Linn Crosetto

 * Move generic EFI code into drivers/firmware/efi/ in preparation for
   the ARM EFI boot stub - Leif Lindholm

 * Cleanups and extraction of code from the x86 EFI boot stub to
   be shared with the ARM EFI boot stub - Roy Franz
