Subject: [GIT PULL] EFI urgent fixes

Guys,

Please pull the following EFI fixes. The fix from Catalin is the same as
the one I sent a week ago and Andrzej's patch fixes an efi-pstore issue
on 32-bit machines where efi-pstore variables don't appear in the
filesystem and so can never be deleted, potentially leading to
exhaustion of NVRAM space.

The following changes since commit 7171511eaec5bf23fb06078f59784a3a0626b38f:

  Linux 3.16-rc1 (2014-06-15 17:45:28 -1000)
