Subject: [PATCH] Remove warning in efi_enter_virtual_mode V2

Some EFI BIOS stores BGRT data in the wrong place and some EFI based
BIOS also requires mapping of boot code/data when doing
efi_enter_virtual_mode.

Current code in efi_enter_virtual_mode maps both EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY and
BIOS boot code/data.

This patch gives the option to switch off that behavior - if your BIOS
has neither BGRT - nor bugs that require mapping of EFI boot code/data

Removes the following warning when booting Linux with an EFI BIOS that
is bug free on IA32

Mapping only memory EFI_RUNTIME_MEMORY is is consistent with the code in
arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c:efi_enter_virtual_mode();
