Hi all,

[Ard -- please can you look at the EFI parts of this patch]

Hmm, this is ugly as hell. Is there nothing else we can piggy-back off?
It's also fairly jarring that, on x86, efi_enter_virtual_mode() is called
a few lines later, *after* acpi_early_init() has been called.

The rest of the series looks fine to me, but I'm not comfortable taking
changes like this via the arm64 tree.
