[PATCH 00/10] arm64 EFI patches for 3.19

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This is a bit of a mixed bag of patches that we would like to see merged for
3.19. Most of them have been posted and discussed on linux-efi and/or LAKML
before, and one of them has even been merged and reverted twice.

Patches #1 - #4 are fixes for compliance with the UEFI and PE/COFF specs.
No issues are known that require these patches, so there is no reason to
pull them into a stable release.

Patches #5 and #6 address minor issues in the arm64 EFI init code.

Patches #7 - #10 implement DMI/SMBIOS for arm64, both the existing 32-bit
version and the upcoming 3.0 version that allows the SMBIOS structure table
to reside at a physical offset that cannot be encoded in 32-bits. It also
install a 'Hardware: xxx' string that is printed along with oopses and
kernel call stack dumps on systems that implement DMI/SMBIOS.

Please refer to the patches themselves for version history. Acks and/or
comments appreciated.
