Subject: [PATCH 0/7] RFC: EFI stub for ARM
Date: Fri,  2 Aug 2013 14:29:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1375478948-22562-1-git-send-email-roy.franz@linaro.org> (raw)

This RFC patch series adds EFI stub support for the ARM architecture.
Some code that was previously only used by x86/x86_64 is now shared
and has been made more general.  The stub for ARM is implemented in
a similar manner to x86 in that it is a shim layer between EFI and
the normal zImage/bzImage boot process, and that an image with the
stub configured is bootable as both a zImage and EFI application.

This patchset depends on a separately submitted bugfix to the
EFI stub: "correct call to free_pages"

  Change EFI helper APIs to be more flexible
