Subject: [GIT PULL] EFI changes

Guys, do you think we could get the EFI earlyprintk support into the
'x86/efi' branch for the upcoming merge window? I know it's quite late
in the game but since it's a new feature it shouldn't introduce any kind
of regression and is a much needed feature.

The following changes since commit c158c3bf59951bbb44bd7ccca9e6665dfd1617c5:

  boot, efi: Remove redundant memset() (2013-10-04 20:07:47 +0100)

  x86/efi: Add EFI framebuffer earlyprintk support (2013-10-27 21:18:48 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * Add support for earlyprintk=efi which uses the EFI framebuffer. Very
   useful for debugging boot issues.

----------------------------------------------------------------

      efi: Add asm-generic/efi.h for non-x86
      x86/efi: Add EFI framebuffer earlyprintk support
