Thank you.

As mentioned before I believe that this series is ready for merging now.

Andy Lutomirski had one last change request for v12 of the second
patch in the series, specifically to replace the loop searching for
the prefix with a memem, but the kernel does not have memmem.

Andy, are you ok with v12 as is, given that we don't have memmem ?

Assuming Andy is ok with v12 as is, then to merge this we need
to probably wait for 5.6-rc1 and then have the x86/efi folks do
an immutable branch with the first 2 patches of the series.

After that you (Greg) can merge patches 3-10 (after merging the
branch) and the platform/drivers/x86 folks can take 11 and 12
(also after merging the branch).

Regards,

Hans
