When you apply this patch locally, you do:

$ git log -p -1 | ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl
Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:EXTENSIBLE FIRMWARE INTERFACE (EFI))
linux-efi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:EXTENSIBLE FIRMWARE INTERFACE (EFI))
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

and this tells you that you need to CC EFI folks too.

I've CCed linux-efi now - please make sure you use that script to CC the
relevant parties on patches, in the future.

Thx.
