Hi Ard,

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):

I'd really like an ack from the mm crowd on patch 1 before I queue it.
