OK, I was able to apply this patch on top of latest mainline (ccda4af0f4b9)
which also include one patch (1/6) from the above series,

However, the efi-related patches from the series (4/6, 5/6, and 6/6) are no
longer able to be cleanly applied. 

As the results, the above patch did fix the original BUG: sleep from atomic,
but it introduces 2 new warnings.
