Subject: [PATCH 3/3] efi: Make efi virtual runtime map passing more robust

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

Currently, running SetVirtualAddressMap() and passing the physical
address of the virtual map array was working only by a lucky coincidence
because the memory was present in the EFI page table too. Until Toshi
went and booted this on a big HP box - the krealloc() manner of resizing
the memmap we're doing did allocate from such physical addresses which
were not mapped anymore and boom:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1386806463.1791.295.camel@misato.fc.hp.com

One way to take care of that issue is to reimplement the krealloc thing
but with pages. We start with contiguous pages of order 1, i.e. 2 pages,
and when we deplete that memory (shouldn't happen all that often but you
know firmware) we realloc the next power-of-two pages.

Having the pages, it is much more handy and easy to map them into the
EFI page table with the already existing mapping code which we're using
for building the virtual mappings.

And, it doesn't matter all that much how much pages we've used as we're
freeing them right after they've fulfilled their purpose at the end of
the function anyway.
