Hello Linus,

Please pull the EFI updates described below. Details are in the tag.

Note the removal of the EFI fake memory map support - this is believed to be
unused and no longer worth supporting. However, we could easily bring it back if
needed.

(With recent developments regarding confidential VMs and unaccepted memory,
combined with kexec, creating a known inaccurate view of the firmware's memory
map and handing it to the OS is a feature we can live without, hence the
removal.  Alternatively, I could imagine making this feature mutually exclusive
with those confidential VM related features, but let's try simply removing it
first)

The following changes since commit f2661062f16b2de5d7b6a5c42a9a5c96326b8454:

  efi: Replace efi_memory_attributes_table_t 0-sized array with flexible array (2024-07-12 10:06:01 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
EFI updates for v6.11

- Drop support for the 'fake' EFI memory map on x86

- Add an SMBIOS based tweak to the EFI stub instructing the firmware on
  x86 Macbook Pros to keep both GPUs enabled

- Replace 0-sized array with flexible array in EFI memory attributes
  table handling

- Drop redundant BSS clearing when booting via the native PE entrypoint
  on x86

- Avoid returning EFI_SUCCESS when aborting on an out-of-memory
  condition

- Cosmetic tweak for arm64 KASLR loading logic
