The other problem is that tip:x86/efi also conflicts with current -git, as of v3.9 - due to interaction with an EFI fix tree ...
This is getting ugly pretty fast, so I'd suggest to re-do the merges cleanly, not by rebasing the tree, but by redoing the first merge in essence:
e29c2de5f591 Merge tag 'v3.9-rc8' into efi-for-tip
By correctly merging v3.9-final into f53f292 - making sure the changes to drivers/firmware/efivars.c correctly merge over, and making sure the ia64 select does not get lost.
Something like this would do:
git checkout -b x86-new-efi-branch f53f292 git merge v3.9 < ... resolve all the conflicts ...> git commit
I can then (non-fast-forward) fetch this new EFI branch as the new tip:x86/efi.
Thanks,
Ingo
