3.16.83-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4911ee401b7ceff8f38e0ac597cbf503d71e690c upstream. The EFI mixed mode entry code goes through the ordinary startup_32() routine before jumping into the kernel's EFI boot code in 64-bit mode. The 32-bit startup code must be entered with paging disabled, but this is not documented as a requirement for the EFI handover protocol, and so we should disable paging explicitly when entering the kernel from 32-bit EFI firmware.
