Subject: [PATCH] Remove warning in efi_enter_virtual_mode
This warning is caused by efi_enter_virtual_mode mapping memory marked
as !EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY. The reason this memory is being mapped is to
work around buggy code that stores an ACPI object called the Boot
Graphics Resource Table - BGRT in memory of type EfiBootServices*.

On systems that do not have a BGRT object, there's no reason to map this
memory in efi_enter_virtual_mode. This patch searches for the BGRT
object and if found - will continue to map the boot services memory,
else only memory with attribute EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY will be mapped.
Mapping only memory EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY is is consistent with the code in
arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c:efi_enter_virtual_mode();
