What usually happens is that Ingo applies the patches piecemeal,
ignoring the tag altogether, so without any coordination between you
as x86 maintainers or communication back to me, that is what i was
expecting to happen this time as well.

Note that I have another PR pending since two weeks ago [0].

So if you want to start dealing with the EFI trees in a different way
from now on, that is perfectly fine with me, but please align with
Ingo and Thomas first.

Thanks,
Ard.
