Hans de Goede reported that his mixed EFI mode Bay Trail tablet would not boot at all any more, but enter a reboot loop without any logs printed by the kernel. Unbreak 64-bit Linux/x86 on 32-bit UEFI: When it was first introduced, the EFI stub code that copies the contents of PCI option ROMs originally only intended to do so if the EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_EMBEDDED_ROM attribute was *not* set. The reason was that the UEFI spec permits PCI option ROM images to be provided by the platform directly, rather than via the ROM BAR, and in this case, the OS can only access them at runtime if they are preserved at boot time by copying them from the areas described by PciIo->RomImage and PciIo->RomSize. However, it implemented this check erroneously, as can be seen in commit: |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
