Ard, apologize for late reply due to a one week holiday. I double-checked
the efi-next commits, I think they are correct. As for the email format
I use quilt to send the series so that the cover letter is not git
formatted. The patches are based on mainline linus tree, maybe this is
the reason of the trouble I will check if it is efi/next mergeble with
"git am" before sending out next time and will switch to git-send-email
if it does not work.

Thanks
Dave
