  efi: efi_guid_t must be 64-bit aligned (2018-12-17 10:42:26 +0100)

Note that applying Qian's patch will result in a conflict with the EFI
changes queued for the next window - the solution is to simply drop the
kmemleak_ignore() call since it is not required for page based
allocations.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Final EFI fixes for v4.20:
- prevent false positives from kmemleak for persistent memory reservations
- use the correct alignment for EFI GUIDs, preventing potential crashes in
  firmware calls on 32-bit ARM

----------------------------------------------------------------
Heinrich Schuchardt (1):
      efi: efi_guid_t must be 64-bit aligned

Qian Cai (1):
      efi: let kmemleak ignore false positives
