UEFI GetMemoryMap() uses a new attribute bit to mark mirrored memory
address ranges.  See UEFI 2.5 spec pages 157-158:

  http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI%202_5.pdf

On EFI enabled systems scan the memory map and tell memblock about any
mirrored ranges.

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

* 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits)

<title>x86/crash: Allocate enough low memory when crashkernel=high</title>

<content type='text'>
When the crash kernel is loaded above 4GiB in memory, the
first kernel allocates only 72MiB of low-memory for the DMA
requirements of the second kernel. On systems with many
devices this is not enough and causes device driver
initialization errors and failed crash dumps. Testing by
SUSE and Redhat has shown that 256MiB is a good default
value for now and the discussion has lead to this value as
well. So set this default value to 256MiB to make sure there
is enough memory available for DMA.

requirements of the second kernel. On systems with many
devices this is not enough and causes device driver
initialization errors and failed crash dumps. Testing by
SUSE and Redhat has shown that 256MiB is a good default
value for now and the discussion has lead to this value as
well. So set this default value to 256MiB to make sure there
is enough memory available for DMA.

Deobfuscate the 'found' logic, it can be replaced with a simple:

	if (!pa_data)
		return;

and 'found' can be eliminated.

<title>x86: introduce kaslr_offset()</title>

Offset that has been chosen for kaslr during kernel decompression can be
easily computed as a difference between _text and __START_KERNEL. We are
already making use of this in dump_kernel_offset() notifier and in
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo().

Introduce kaslr_offset() that makes this computation instead of hard-coding
it, so that other kernel code (such as live patching) can make use of it.
Also convert existing users to make use of it.

This patch is equivalent transofrmation without any effects on the resulting
code:

	$ diff -u vmlinux.old.asm vmlinux.new.asm
	--- vmlinux.old.asm     2015-04-28 17:55:19.520983368 +0200
	+++ vmlinux.new.asm     2015-04-28 17:55:24.141206072 +0200

io_apic_ops.init() is either NULL, if IO-APIC support is disabled at
compile time or native_io_apic_init_mappings(). No point to have that
as we can achieve the same thing with an empty inline.
