I applied Matthew's patches to v3.9-rc7 then tested...

The active_size checking works to me on my Acer machine for avoid the
storage_size/2 issue, I can use efibootmgr to create new boot entry,
now.

But, I found there have the following warning:

[    1.347581] [Firmware Bug]: efi: Inconsistent initial size

Then, I add printk to print the values of var_size and active_size,
found the values always 0 after system reboot. I am doing to add more
log for locate if this is a BIOS issue.


Thanks a lot!
