This series adds support for booting the 32-bit ARM kernel directly from UEFI firmware using a builtin UEFI stub. It mostly reuses refactored arm64 code, and the differences (primarily the PE/COFF header and entry point and the efi_create_mapping() implementation) are split out into arm64 and ARM versions. Since I did not receive any further comments in reply to v3 from the people who commented on v2, I think this series in now in sufficient shape to be pulled. Note that patch #1 touches mm/memblock.c and include/linux/memblock.h, for which get_maintainer.pl does not provide a maintainer, so it has been cc'ed to various past editors of those files, and to the linux-mm mailing list. Since the series affects both arm64 and ARM, it is up to the maintainers to let me know how and when they wish to proceed with this. My suggestion would be to send out pull request for patches #1 - #5 to the arm64 maintainer, and for the whole series to the ARM maintainer. This should keep any conflicts on either side confined to the respective maintainer tree, rather then propagating all the way to -next.
For the arm64 bits (patches 2-5): Acked-by: Will Deacon [off-list ref] I'd really like an ack from the mm crowd on patch 1 before I queue it. Will
