Pull EFI changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - further EFI code generalization to make it more workable for ARM64
   - various extensions, such as 64-bit framebuffer address support,
     UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE support
   - code modularization simplifications and cleanups
   - new debugging parameters
   - various fixes and smaller additions"
