Public bug reported:

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 bug #775191
(https://bugs.debian.org/775191).  Additional discussion is available
here:  http://blog.einval.com/2015/01/11#Jessie-EFI_5
