For this patch:

Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@xxxxxxxxxx>

With regard to other arches:

- I think that "arch/arm64/kernel/efi.c" prints stuff like this
already, in reserve_regions(). OK.

- However, I think "arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c" needs a similar patch.
(Maybe your PULL includes such a patch already, but I'm not CC'd on
it.) See in the function efi_init(), near efi_md_typeattr_format().

Thanks
Laszlo
