efi: Check for NULL efi kernel parameters (2015-07-30 18:07:11 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
* Fix an EFI boot issue preventing a Parallels virtual machine from
booting because the upper 32-bits of the EFI memmap pointer were
being discarded in setup_e820() - Dmitry Skorodumov
* Validate that the "efi" kernel parameter gets used with an argument,
otherwise we will oops - Ricardo Neri
