Best it would be if you do that early in the cycle so that it gets
maximum testing in linux-next.

Oh, and my compiler doesn't like it for whatever reason:

/tmp/ccLB2vIC.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccLB2vIC.s: Error: invalid operands (.rodata and .text sections) for `-' when setting `.L__sym_size___efi64_thunk'
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:322: arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_thunk_64.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

But otherwise, I like the direction where this is going, of us not
mapping as much into the EFI PGT. But I've said that already...

Thx.
