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

Pull x86 boot updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Assorted updates to kexec/kdump:

   - Proper kexec support for 4/5-level paging and jumping from a
     5-level to a 4-level paging kernel.

   - Make the EFI support for kexec/kdump more robust

   - Enforce that the GDT is properly aligned instead of getting the
     alignment by chance"
