Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: selective remapping in parse_setup_data()

Type SETUP_PCI, added by setup_efi_pci(), may advertise a ROM size
larger than early_memremap() is able to handle, which is currently
limited to 256kB. If this occurs it leads to a NULL dereference in
parse_setup_data().

To avoid this, first remap the setup_data header, and remap the data
only for types actually parsed in parse_setup_data(). Type SETUP_PCI is
handled later by pcibios_add_device(), when ioremap() is available.
