Subject: [PATCH] Fix devmem_is_allowed for below 1MB accesses for an efi machine

Changing devmem_is_allowed so that on an EFI machine, access to physical
address below 1 MB is allowed only to physical pages that are valid in
the EFI memory map.  This prevents the possibility of an MCE due to
accessing an invalid physical address.
