This RFC patch series adds EFI stub support for the ARM architecture. Some code that was previously only used by x86/x86_64 is now shared and has been made more general. The stub for ARM is implemented in a similar manner to x86 in that it is a shim layer between EFI and the normal zImage/bzImage boot process, and that an image with the stub configured is bootable as both a zImage and EFI application. This patchset depends on a separately submitted bugfix to the EFI stub: "correct call to free_pages" http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=df981edcb9bce00b9c5e4f3cc33f3f98bc9a2394 Roy Franz (7): EFI stub documentation updates Move common EFI stub code from x86 arch code to common location Change EFI helper APIs to be more flexible Add proper definitions for some EFI function pointers. Add strstr to compressed string.c for ARM.
