Folks,
This is a respin of the previous pull request for v3.18 EFI material
without the in_nmi() conditional locking in the EFI runtime lock patch.
In addition, I picked up a trivial patch to the rtc-efi driver from Ard
because no one else has responded to it in ~3 weeks, and included a
regression fix for the rtc-efi driver (tagged for stable) since we've
basically run out of -rcs now and it definitely isn't urgent enough to
postpone the merge window.
As before, merging this tag into Linus' tree causes some conflicts,
which I've fixed up and pushed out as the efi-next-merge branch, in case
you or Linus want to take a look at it. The conflicts are fairly
straight forward to resolve.
The following changes since commit 7d1311b93e58ed55f3a31cc8f94c4b8fe988a2b9:

rtc: Disable EFI rtc for x86 (2014-10-03 21:24:17 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Implement new EFI runtime lock which is required by the UEFI
specification - Ard Biesheuvel
* Add new efi= x86 EFI boot stub parameter which mimics the way that
the regular kernel parameter works - Matt Fleming
* Improve error handling in efi-bgrt driver - Josh Triplett
* Extend the "noefi" kernel parameter to arm64, add an efi=noruntime
synonym - Dave Young
* Beautify the EFI memory map logs - Laszlo Ersek
* Fix compiler shadow warnings and improve variable names - Mark Rustad
* Remove unused efi_call() macros, update comments, tag initialization
functions with __init - Mathias Krause
* Add more informative efi_printk()s to the x86 EFI boot stub at the
firmware call-sites - Andre Müller
* Drop the in_nmi() checks from the EFI runtime locking code and
instead provide a new EFI variable operation to be used when we're in
a context that must not block - Matt Fleming
* Export a module alias for the rtc-efi driver for automatic loading by
udev - Ard Biesheuvel
* Disable building the rtc-efi driver for x86 since the time-related
EFI runtime services are notoriously crappy, and usually result in
crashes - Matt Fleming
