Pull x86 and EFI fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Half of these are EFI-related:

  The by far biggest change is the change to hold off the deletion of a
  sysfs entry while a backend scan is in progress.  This is to avoid
  calling kmemdup() while under a spinlock.

  The other major change is for each entry in the EFI pstore backend to
  get a unique identifier, as required by the pstore filesystem proper.

  The other changes are:

  A fix to the recent consolidation and optimization of using "asm goto"
  with read-modify-write operation, which broke the bitops; specifically
  in such a way that we could end up generating invalid code.

  A build hack to make sure we compile with -mno-sse.  icc, and most
  likely future versions of gcc, can generate SSE instructions unless we
  tell it not to.

  A comment-only patch to a change the was due in part to an unpublished
  erratum; now when the erratum is published we want to add a comment
  explaining why"
