Hi Linus,

Thanks for the 5.7-rc1 release.

Just want to point to the thread "[Bug report] Kernel 5.7 become unbootable".

I have pulled efi.git#tags/efi-urgent into my local Git before
building, testing and booting.

Note: The second patch mentioned in the thread is already included in v5.7-rc1.

d8a26d8fc37c drm/mm: revert "Break long searches in fragmented address spaces"

dileks@iniza:~/src/linux-kernel/linux$ git describe --contains d8a26d8fc37c
v5.7-rc1~23^2~6^2

With my best wishes for a Happy Finnish Easter ceremony/celebration,

P.S.: BTW, it is not social distancing - it is ***physical*** distancing.
