Merge tag 'efi-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi into x86/efi 



Pull EFI changes from Matt Fleming:

  - Use idiomatic negative error values in efivar_create_sysfs_entry()
    instead of returning '1' to indicate error. (Dan Carpenter)

  - Implement new support to expose the EFI System Resource Tables in sysfs,
    which provides information for performing firmware updates. (Peter Jones)

  - Documentation cleanup in the EFI handover protocol section which
    falsely claimed that 'cmdline_size' needed to be filled out by the
    boot loader. (Alex Smith)

  - Align the order of SMBIOS tables in /sys/firmware/efi/systab to match
    the way that we do things for ACPI and add documentation to
    Documentation/ABI. (Jean Delvare)
