I merged two EFI/ARM related series, whose v1's I sent out last week:
Changes since v1:
- added various tags from various people
- new patch #3 to undefine __init
@Matt: are you happy with all of this going through the arm64 tree? I don't
think it clashes with anything else we've got queued up for v4.6 in tip/efi/core
Series 1: arm efi minor fixes
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/473027
This fixes two minor issues with the handling of .init data in the stub (#1, #2)
Patch #3 is a new patch that un-#defines __init in efistub.h, to catch its
inadvertent use in the UEFI stub
Patch #4 replaces some instances of early_memremap() with early_memremap_ro()
where the region in question is only accessed in r/o mode.
Series 2: UEFI stub pre-boot compat checks
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/473189
As discussed earlier today [1], and last year [2], it makes sense for the
UEFI stub to perform some basic checks on the hardware for missing features
that would prevent the kernel from booting to a state where it can even
complain about this.
So implements this for ARM, to check on LPAE builds whether the CPU supports
it (patch #5), and for arm64, to check whether the build time granule is
implemented by the CPU (patch #6). Patch #7 wires it up into the shared init
code.

Ard Biesheuvel (7):
arm64: efistub: drop __init annotation from handle_kernel_image()
arm64: vmlinux.lds.S: handle .init.rodata.xxx and .init.bss sections
efi: efistub: prevent __init annotations from being used
efi: arm-init: use read-only early mappings
ARM: efistub: check for LPAE support before booting a LPAE kernel
arm64: efistub: check for h/w support before booting a >4 KB granule
kernel
ARM/arm64: efistub: perform hardware compatibility check
