Thanks Boris.

Do you have any comments regarding patches #3 and #6 in this series?
Patch #3 is actual common code, but patch #6 also touches a file under
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub (but it is only used by arm64 atm) With
your acks on those, I could ask Catalin or Will to take the whole
series through the arm64 tree.

Regards,
Ard.
