Indeed, and I applied the revert and then promptly forgot about it...

So the real changelog is:

- Use 32-bit alignment for efi_guid_t
- Allow the SetVirtualAddressMap() call to be omitted
- Implement earlycon=efifb based on existing earlyprintk code
- Various minor fixes and code cleanups from Sai, Ard and me

Sorry and thanks,
