3.13.11-ckt33 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 23a0d4e8fa6d3a1d7fb819f79bcc0a3739c30ba9 upstream.
Tapasweni Pathak reported that we do a kmalloc() in efi_call_phys_prolog()
on x86-64 while having interrupts disabled, which is a big no-no, as
kmalloc() can sleep.
Solve this by removing the irq disabling from the prolog/epilog calls
around EFI calls: it's unnecessary, as in this stage we are single
threaded in the boot thread, and we don't ever execute this from
interrupt contexts.
