Re: [PATCH 3/3] x86/platform/UV: use efi_runtime_sem to serialise BIOS calls

[Bhupesh Sharma <bhsharma@redhat.com>]

Hi Hedi,

Thanks for the patchset.

I will give this a go on my sgi-uv300 machine and come back with more 
detailed inputs, but I wanted to ask about the hang/panic you mentioned 
in the cover letter when efi_scratch gets clobbered. Can you describe 
the same (for e.g. how to reproduce this).

Nitpicks below:

Can we make this static?
