FWIW,
booting the patchset on my Dell looks good here. Booting at least, I
don't know about other stuff. If you have an EFI test suite or want me
to try stuff out, let me know. efibootmgr output looks sane too.
Btw, I've added a printk to the code so that we know that we've managed
switching to the 1:1 thing:
[ 0.073119] efi: Using 1:1 map.
Thanks.
