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

Pull x86 EFI fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a collection of fixes for the EFI support.  The controversial
  bit here is a set of patches which bumps the boot protocol version as
  part of fixing some serious problems with the EFI handover protocol,
  used when booting under EFI using a bootloader as opposed to directly
  from EFI.  These changes should also make it a lot saner to support
  cross-mode 32/64-bit EFI booting in the future.  Getting these changes
  into 3.8 means we avoid presenting an inconsistent ABI to bootloaders.

  Other changes are display detection and fixing efivarfs."
