I agree with Borislav that this should be invoked from efisubsys_init().
Also Dave, there's nothing inherently x86-specific about runtime-map.c -
we've been trying not to dump arch-specific code in
drivers/firmware/efi/.
How about something like this, just to give you an idea? This would
allow the ARM/ia64 folks to enable this code if they want at some later
date. But more than that, it makes the code more self-contained and uses
some real interfaces instead of relying on global variables,
(not compile tested)
