So there's one complication I noticed, there's conflicts with ongoing 
x86/mm work. I've merged x86/mm into efi/core (and will send the branches 
in that order in the merge window), and the final three patches conflict.

Mind sending those three patches and your other patches on top of the 
latest efi/core (4444f8541dad)?

Thanks,
