Folks,
Please queue up the following fixes, mainly for regressions introduced in the merge window or -rc2.
So the rule for post-rc1 merges is to fix regressions 'only', not 'mainly'!

x86/efi: Remove unused efi_call* macros
x86/efi: Unexportadd_efi_memmapvariable
x86/efi: Update comment regarding required phys mapped EFI services x86/efi: Mark initialization code as such
Neither of these 4 changes is a critical regression!

This revert is a regression fix too.
So please only put the 3 regression fixes into efi-urgent, the rest can go into the v3.18 pile.
Thanks,
