Hi Ard,

By any chance does this series fix a kexec failure which I bisected
down to 0a67361dcdaa ("efi/x86: Remove runtime table address from
kexec EFI setup data")? Or if it doesn't, is this a known failure?

I'm currently building Linus's latest branch to see if it's been fixed
since v5.6-11114-g9c94b39560c3 (which is where I first noticed it) and
while I was waiting for v5.6-12349-g87ebc45d2d32 to finish building so
I could test it, I noticed these patches, and so I figured I'd fire
off this quick question.

Thanks,

- Ted
