So I've resolved it the following way, I merged the conflicting commit into 
tip:efi/core and applied the 3 unrelated patches from your series:

 36b649760e94: efi: Use string literals for efi_char16_t variable initializers
 136d5d57e35c: efi/esrt: Fix handling of early ESRT table mapping
 7e904a91bf60: efi: Use efi_mm in x86 as well as ARM
 b0599e2801df: Merge branch 'x86/mm' into efi/core

and pushed it out.

So if you could resolve the two conflicting patches on top of 36b649760e94 then we 
should be good going forward.

Thanks,

	Ingo
