Please put unrelated changes into separate patches.

In particular don't make changes that are not reflected in
the title:

  [PATCH v4 1/4] x86/boot/compressed: Remove unused variables in EFI helpers

Having the above change included in a patch with such a title
is highly confusing.

Thanks,

	Ingo
