Roland Dreier is working on a more comprehensive series. I copied you on the thread. Looks like I missed an entire sequence of EFI related patches in the backport.
I don't remember any EFI specific patches for L1TF. Which ones do you mean?
Not specifically for L1TF, but general EFI patches which may be needed as prerequisite. I'll copy you on the thread discussing which patches may be needed.
Does anyone know if qemu supports EFI ?
Yes it does, but the exact calls may still depend on the hardware.
Apparently so; I managed to boot Linux using qemu in efi mode, but I am unable to reproduce the problem.
