[GIT PULL] EFI urgent fix
Hi Peter, Linus, I've got a small patch that fixes a crash for the Google folks and their EFI SMI driver, which was caused by dereferencing a garbage pointer. Please consider pulling. The following changes since commit f697036b93aa7345d4cbb3c854a76456c0ddac45: efi: Check EFI revision in setup_efi_vars (2013-04-24 16:19:01 +0100) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi.git tags/efi-urgent for you to fetch changes up to 45432323ef7038a91599959173700fdb8a0adb2f: efivars: only check for duplicates on the registered list (2013-04-26 16:50:01 +0100) * Last minute bugfix for the efivars code. The google EFI SMI driver maintains its own list of EFI variables but the efivars core was directly accessing a different (and in this case, uninitialised) list resulting in a crash.

Hmm. I already took this from the earlier email you sent. Did it change since?

I just didn't know whether you preferred to take the fix via email or a pull request.
