[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu.tl@xxxxxxxxx>]

This change is now in vivid as well:
 grub2 (2.02~beta2-21) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
   * Fix overlap check in check_blocklists for load_env (backported patch
     from upstream commit 1f6af2a9; LP: #1311247).
 .
   [ Steve McIntyre ]
   * Add support for running a 64-bit Linux kernel on a 32-bit EFI (closes:
     #775202).
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Use mtmsr rather than mtmsrd in ppc64el-disable-vsx.patch, since the
     "VSX Available" bit is in the lower half of the MSR anyway, and mtmsrd
     faults on 32-bit systems (closes: #776400).

Title:
  grub2/kernel EFI firware size interface

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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
