Ard Biesheuvel 95a362c9a6 efi/capsule-loader: Reinstate virtual capsule mapping 
commit f24c4d4780 upstream.

Commit:

  82c3768b8d ("efi/capsule-loader: Use a cached copy of the capsule header")

... refactored the capsule loading code that maps the capsule header,
to avoid having to map it several times.

However, as it turns out, the vmap() call we ended up removing did not
just map the header, but the entire capsule image, and dropping this
virtual mapping breaks capsules that are processed by the firmware
immediately (i.e., without a reboot).

Unfortunately, that change was part of a larger refactor that allowed
a quirk to be implemented for Quark, which has a non-standard memory
layout for capsules, and we have slightly painted ourselves into a
corner by allowing quirk code to mangle the capsule header and memory
layout.

So we need to fix this without breaking Quark. Fortunately, Quark does
not appear to care about the virtual mapping, and so we can simply
do a partial revert of commit:

  2a457fb31d ("efi/capsule-loader: Use page addresses rather than struct page pointers")

... and create a vmap() mapping of the entire capsule (including header)
based on the reinstated struct page array, unless running on Quark, in
which case we pass the capsule header copy as before.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
