[PATCH 4.4 101/105] Revert "x86/efi: Build our own page table structures"

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 15 2017 - 04:50:35 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit 36e0f05afd4e1d09fd47936761a502aedbc50649 which is
commit 67a9108ed4313b85a9c53406d80dc1ae3f8c3e36 upstream.

Turns there was too many other issues with this patch to make it viable
for the stable tree.
