Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: - Three EFI-related fixes - Two early memory initialization fixes - build fix for older binutils - fix for an eager FPU performance regression -- currently we don't allow the use of the FPU at interrupt time *at all* in eager mode, which is clearly wrong. * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86: Allow FPU to be used at interrupt time even with eagerfpu x86, crc32-pclmul: Fix build with older binutils x86-64, init: Fix a possible wraparound bug in switchover in head_64.S x86, range: fix missing merge during add range x86, efi: initial the local variable of DataSize to zero efivar: fix oops in efivar_update_sysfs_entries() caused by memory reuse efivarfs: Never return ENOENT from firmware again
