[Bug 1409750] Re: grub2/kernel EFI firware size interface

[Phillip Susi]

Looking at the patch, it appears to fall back to the previous behavior
if it fails to read the new sysfs knob, so including it won't cause any
harm, but without the corresponding kernel patch, it won't do what it is
supposed to do either.

Title:
  grub2/kernel EFI firware size interface

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Seems that grub2 needs the ability to "size" the EFI implementation it
  is running on.  This is being exposed via the kernel in a patch queued
  for v3.20 (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.efi/5229).
  This is being taken early in debian under debian #775191 (linux) and
  debian #775202 (grub2) (https://bugs.debian.org/775191,
  https://bugs.debian.org/775202).  Additional discussion is available
  here:  http://blog.einval.com/2015/01/11#Jessie-EFI_5
