Dear Greg, dear Sasha,
I noticed a build failure for linux-5.10.y for ia64 ([1]) (sorry, actually since 5.10.221-rc1, but I didn't notice that build failure before yesterday :-/ and as the review window for 5.10.222-rc1 is not yet open, I thought I send it now as response to the last review window announcement for 5.10.221-rc2):
https://github.com/linux-ia64/linux-stable-rc/actions/runs/9771252437/job/26...: ``` [...] CC [M] drivers/pps/pps.o drivers/firmware/efi/memmap.c:16:10: fatal error: asm/efi.h: No such file or directory 16 | #include <asm/efi.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. [...] ```

This is related to the recent addition of this change set:
efi: memmap: Move manipulation routines into x86 arch tree
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git/c...
...to linux-5.10.y. For ia64 this change set on its own seems incomplete as it requires a header not available for ia64 w/o additional changes.
Adding:
efi: ia64: move IA64-only declarations to new asm/efi.h header
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
...or from here (according to GitHub this is in linux-stable(-rc) starting with linux-5.12.y):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
fixes it for me with 5.10.222-rc1, see for example [2].
