I'd really prefer it if you didn't take this series through the arm64
tree, unless there are existing dependencies, of course.

There were a number of conflicts in 3 different maintainer trees in
linux-next before the most recent merge window opened, and extra work
was required to sort that out. I want to avoid that in the future, so
expect me to be more insistent about keeping EFI patches in the EFI
tree than I have been in the past. 

Do arm64 prerequisites exist for this series? Or are you planning on
adding dependencies on top?
