Sai Praneeth 03781e4089 x86/efi: Use efi_switch_mm() rather than manually twiddling with %cr3
Use helper function efi_switch_mm() to switch to/from efi_mm when
invoking any UEFI runtime services.

Likewise, we need to switch back to previous mm (mm context stolen
by efi_mm) after the above calls return successfully. We can use
efi_switch_mm() helper function only with x86_64 kernel and
"efi=old_map" disabled because, x86_32 and efi=old_map do not use
efi_pgd, rather they use swapper_pg_dir.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
