Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes are:
- Add support for enlisting the help of the EFI firmware to create
memory reservations that persist across kexec.
- Add page fault handling to the runtime services support code on x86
so we can more gracefully recover from buggy EFI firmware.
- Fix command line handling on x86 for the boot path that omits the
stub's PE/COFF entry point.
- Other assorted fixes and updates"

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
