Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Allocate the E820 buffer before doing the
GetMemoryMap/ExitBootServices dance so we don't run out of space
- Clear EFI boot services mappings when freeing the memory
- Harden efivars against callers that invoke it on non-EFI boots
- Reduce the number of memblock reservations resulting from extensive
use of the new efi_mem_reserve_persistent() API
- Other assorted fixes and cleanups"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
