Hello, I'm interested in the recent set of EFI patches that have been merged in 3.0.0-rc1, as my Latitude E5520 will not boot from EFI with 2.6.39 unless I pass "noefi" to the kernel. (ArchLinux bug, detailing which patches I'm talking about: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24463)
I've tested 3.0.0-rc1, and my laptop does indeed now boot from EFI, although the kernel complains about bugs. The full dmesg.txt file can be found at https://gist.github.com/1000394, and I've filed a bug report for this (#36362). It would appear that these patches enable otherwise broken hardware to boot. Any chance these could be merged to stable? Please let me know if I can be of any further help.
