Folks, here are the remaining EFI changes for v4.6.

Two of the patches were sent in the previous v4.6 pull request on 1st
February. Those include running EFI runtime services with interrupts
enabled (just like Windows does) and aligning the EFI GUID formats in
include/linux/efi.h to match the way they're written in the UEFI spec.
They've both been reworked to address comments.

The rest of the changes are all over the tree, and range from simple
fixes and cleanups to support for EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE on x86.

The following changes since commit 35575e0e8ba633fc8276509a21f89b599b4f9006:

  efi: Add Persistent Memory type name (2016-02-03 11:41:20 +0100)

  x86/efi: Only map kernel text for EFI mixed mode (2016-02-15 11:37:02 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
 * checkpatch.pl cleanup of the GUIDs in efi.h which has the added
   benefit of making them more closely resemble how they're presented
   in the UEFI specification - Peter Jones

 * Now that we've verified that Windows works this way, leave
   interrupts enabled when invoking EFI runtime services which
   also reduces interrupt latencies - Ard Biesheuvel

 * Reduce page table attribute inconsistencies between the EFI page
   tables and the standard kernel page tables by ensuring we also set
   _PAGE_GLOBAL in the EFI-specific paths - Sai Praneeth Prakhya

 * A bunch of small fixes to the generic EFI stub and some early boot
   platform compatibility checks for ARM and arm64 - Ard Biesheuvel

 * Add support for EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE to x86, allowing us to apply
   more secure memory mapping permissions for firmware that ships with
   the feature enabled - Sai Praneeth Prakhya

 * Fix an EFI mixed mode bug where we intend to only map the kernel
   image's text but end up mapping the entire image - Sai Praneeth Prakhya

----------------------------------------------------------------
