From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Linus,

A steady trickle of EFI fixes this cycle - this is due to the backports hitting
kernels that are more widely used. There are a few more issues under
investigation, but these fixes are straight-forward and important, so no need
to delay them.

Please pull.

The following changes since commit b3810c5a2cc4a6665f7a65bed5393c75ce3f3aa2:
