Hello Linus,

Please pull the EFI fix below - it works around a shortcoming in the memory
acceptation API, which may apparently hog the CPU for long enough to trigger
the softlockup watchdog. Note that this only affects confidential VMs running
under the Intel TDX hypervisor, which is why I accepted this for now, but this
should obviously be fixed properly in the future.
