Subject: [PATCH] x86, efi: Convert efi_phys_get_time() args to physical addresses

From: Maurice Ma <maurice.ma@...el.com>

Because callers of efi_phys_get_time() pass virtual stack addresses as
arguments, we need to find their corresponding physical addresses and
when calling GetTime() in physical mode.

Without this patch the following line is printed on boot,

	"Oops: efitime: can't read time!"
