Guys, do you think we could get the EFI earlyprintk support into the 'x86/efi' branch for the upcoming merge window? I know it's quite late in the game but since it's a new feature it shouldn't introduce any kind of regression and is a much needed feature. The following changes since commit c158c3bf59951bbb44bd7ccca9e6665dfd1617c5: boot, efi: Remove redundant memset() (2013-10-04 20:07:47 +0100) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi.git tags/efi-next for you to fetch changes up to 32c9e70fc3912c3b9c7d53ce016960ce99ff93d4: x86/efi: Add EFI framebuffer earlyprintk support (2013-10-27 21:18:48 +0000) ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Add support for earlyprintk=efi which uses the EFI framebuffer.
