[PATCH 3/4] x86/efi: Force EFI reboot to process pending capsules

From: Matt Fleming
Date: Thu Mar 17 2016 - 08:57:28 EST


If an EFI capsule has been sent to the firmware we must match the type
of EFI reset against that required by the capsule to ensure it is
processed correctly.

Force an EFI reboot if a capsule is pending for the next reset.
