Subject[GIT PULL] EFI urgent fix
Folks, please pull the following fix. It's something that Peter and I
talked about a while ago, and it seems that people are actually hitting
issues without this patch and have been since v3.13.

The following changes since commit c7fb93ec51d462ec3540a729ba446663c26a0505:

x86/efi: Include a .bss section within the PE/COFF headers (2014-07-10 14:21:39 +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 7b2a583afb4ab894f78bc0f8bd136e96b6499a7e:

x86/efi: Enforce CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for EFI boot stub (2014-08-05 22:01:04 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
* Enforce CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for the x86 EFI boot stub, otherwise
it's possible to overwrite random pieces of unallocated memory during
kernel decompression, leading to machine resets.
