We assign efi.systab using efi_lookup_mapped_addr(), and test for !NULL, but
then go on an dereference it anyway.

... this needs a kfree(virtmap) as well.

And probably should unmap all the remapped regions in virtmap first.
Presumably the systab will be in a runtime memory region which gets
virtual mapping from remap_region(). If that succeeds, then the
efi_lookup_mapped_addr should always succeed. But to be careful,
we should probably bail out earlier if remap_region() ever returns
zero. If all remaps work and efi_lookup_mapped_addr() fails, then
we should try ioremap_cache() directly. Or do what x86 does and make
a local copy of the table earlier when we early_memremap() it in
uefi_init().

Yes.

Bailing early (and cleaning up) if any remap_region() call fails seems
like a wise thing to do.
But if they all succeed, and efi_lookup_mapped_addr() then fails to
resolve efi_system_table, it means it lives in a region which will
become inaccessible to the runtime services themselves after
set_virtual_address_map() has been called. So doing any kind of
fallback masks a severe firmware bug, which makes me think we should
just complain loudly and not enable UEFI bits any further

Thanks. I applied this one (the other patch needs to go in via a
different route).

Eh, actually, I proposed a v2 based on Mark's feedback, but I now see
that I accidentally removed you from the To list.

OK. I'll wait for acks on the other version then.
