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

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes are:

   - Use separate EFI page tables when executing EFI firmware code.
     This isolates the EFI context from the rest of the kernel, which
     has security and general robustness advantages.  (Matt Fleming)

   - Run regular UEFI firmware with interrupts enabled.  This is already
     the status quo under other OSs.  (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Various x86 EFI enhancements, such as the use of non-executable
     attributes for EFI memory mappings.  (Sai Praneeth Prakhya)

   - Various arm64 UEFI enhancements.  (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - ... various fixes and cleanups.

  The separate EFI page tables feature got delayed twice already,
  because it's an intrusive change and we didn't feel confident about
  it - third time's the charm we hope!"

 Current X86-64 implementations only support 40 bits of address space,
 but we support up to 46 bits. This expands into MBZ space in the page tables.
