SubjectRE: [CFT][PATCH] 2.6.4-rc1 remove x86 boot page tables

Not a stupid question at all. Despite the recent announcement,
efi is still working its way into x86 systems. I think that
decision lies with OEMs. I believe some are already out there...

Not necessarily, although some systems (such as servers) will
indeed have support for x86-64. I've just started looking at what
support needs to added for x86-64, in terms of efi, since I
learned about the announcement via cnet as well... ;-(
