  efi/capsule: Allocate whole capsule into virtual memory (2016-08-09 11:32:55 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * Fix a boot crash on SGI/UV when kexec'ing a kernel with the "noefi"
   kernel parameter - Alex Thorlton

 * Wholly map EFI capsules with vmap() instead of just the first page
   with kmap(), so that the capsule driver works on Qualcomm QDF2432,
   and because the UEFI specification requires the capsule to be fully
   mapped into the kernel's virtual address space - Austin Christ

----------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Thorlton (1):
      x86/platform/uv: Skip UV runtime services mapping in the efi_runtime_disabled case
