Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Fallout from the recent NMI fixes: make x86 LDT handling more robust.

  Also some EFI fixes"

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/ldt: Make modify_ldt synchronous
  x86/xen: Probe target addresses in set_aliased_prot() before the hypercall
  x86/irq: Use the caller provided polarity setting in mp_check_pin_attr()
  efi: Check for NULL efi kernel parameters
  x86/efi: Use all 64 bit of efi_memmap in setup_e820()
