I'm not certain. How would I tell this?

But I'm not sure whether that showed absolutely that the hang occurs actually during setup_efi_pci(). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
