Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"This is unusually large, partly due to the EFI fixes that prevent
accidental deletion of EFI variables through efivarfs that may brick
machines. These fixes are somewhat involved to maintain compatibility
with existing install methods and other usage modes, while trying to
turn off the 'rm -rf' bricking vector.
Other fixes are for large page ioremap()s and for non-temporal
user-memcpy()s"
