#1255348 — [GIT PULL] EFI changes for v4.4

Folks, please pull the following bugfix from Sai which prevents a
kernel panic when booting an EFI machine with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL
enabled.

This bug was reported last year by Dave Hansen,

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/5462999A.7090706@intel.com

and since nobody else has reported it, and given that it's only
triggerable with a debug config option, I figured this should be
targeted at v4.4.

The following changes since commit 0f96a99dab366333439e110d6ad253bc7c557c09:

  efi: Add "efi_fake_mem" boot option (2015-10-12 14:20:09 +0100)

are available in the git repository at:

  x86/efi: Fix kernel panic when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled (2015-10-25 10:22:25 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * Fix a kernel panic by not passing EFI virtual mapping addresses to
   __pa() in the x86 pageattr code. Since these virtual addreses are
  not part of the direct mapping or kernel text mapping, passing them
  to __pa() will trigger a BUG_ON() when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is
  enabled - Sai Praneeth Prakhya
