Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "Three groups of fixes:

   1. Make sure we don't execute the early microcode patching if family
      < 6, since it would touch MSRs which don't exist on those
      families, causing crashes.

   2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more
      gracefully than just disabling the driver.

   3. More EFI variable space magic.  In particular, variables hidden
      from runtime code need to be taken into account too."

* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86, microcode: Verify the family before dispatching microcode patching
  x86, hyperv: Handle Xen emulation of Hyper-V more gracefully
  x86,efi: Implement efi_no_storage_paranoia parameter
  efi: Export efi_query_variable_store() for efivars.ko
  x86/Kconfig: Make EFI select UCS2_STRING
  efi: Distinguish between "remaining space" and actually used space
  efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime code
  Move utf16 functions to kernel core and rename
  x86,efi: Check max_size only if it is non-zero.
  x86, efivars: firmware bug workarounds should be in platform code
