Hi,
+
+With kernel 3.8.1 I seem to be having trouble mounting efivarfs:
+
+[root at jimmy ~]# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs
+/sys/firmware/efi/efivarsmount: mount efivarfs on
+/sys/firmware/efi/efivars failed: Cannot allocate memory
+
+
+Googleing around it looks like this problem:
+http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg01501.html
+as I do have variables named like dump-type*.
+
+It works fine with 3.8.0.
+
+The above link seems to mention 3.9.x rather than 3.8.x, but I'm
+wondering if the problematic patch was merged into 3.8.1 too.
+
+Certainly the fix seems to be listed in the 3.8.3 review:
