Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Several boot fixes (MacBook, legacy EFI bootloaders), another
  please-don't-brick fix, and some minor stuff."

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86: Do not try to sync identity map for non-mapped pages
  x86, doc: Be explicit about what the x86 struct boot_params requires
  x86: Don't clear efi_info even if the sentinel hits
  x86, mm: Make sure to find a 2M free block for the first mapped area
  x86: Fix 32-bit *_cpu_data initializers
  efivarfs: return accurate error code in efivarfs_fill_super()
  efivars: efivarfs_valid_name() should handle pstore syntax

  iommu, x86: Add DMA remap fault reason
  x86, smpboot: Remove unused variable
