Merge tag 'efi-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi into core/efi



Pull EFI fix from Matt Fleming:

  - Fix a kernel panic by not passing EFI virtual mapping addresses to
    __pa() in the x86 pageattr code. Since these virtual addreses are
    not part of the direct mapping or kernel text mapping, passing them
    to __pa() will trigger a BUG_ON() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is
    enabled. (Sai Praneeth Prakhya)
