Mark Brown (1):
[IA64] Hook up gpiolib support

Matthew Garrett (5):
pstore: Extend API for more flexibility in new backends
pstore: Add extra context for writes and erases
pstore: Make "part" unsigned
pstore: Allow the user to explicitly choose a backend
efi: Add support for using efivars as a pstore backend

Mike Waychison (4):
efivars: String functions
efivars: introduce utf16_strncmp
efivars: Use string functions in pstore_write
efivars: Introduce PSTORE_EFI_ATTRIBUTES

Is there any reason why ia64 changes are in the same branch as pstore?

It seems totally illogical, and against all the normal "topic branch" rules.
