Urgh, sorry about this slipping through the cracks Guenter!

What about fixing it up with this patch?

Subject: [PATCH] efi: Use the generic efi.memmap instead of 'memmap'

Guenter reports that commit 7bf793115dd9 ("efi, x86: Rearrange
efi_mem_attributes()") breaks ia64 compilation with the following
error,

 drivers/built-in.o: In function `efi_mem_attributes':
  (.text+0xde962): undefined reference to `memmap'
 drivers/built-in.o: In function `efi_mem_attributes':
  (.text+0xde971): undefined reference to `memmap'

Instead of using the (rather poorly named) global variable 'memmap'
which doesn't exist on ia64, use efi.memmap which points to the
'memmap' object on x86 and arm64 and which is NULL for ia64.

The fact that efi.memmap is NULL for ia64 is OK because ia64 provides
its own implementation of efi_mem_attributes().
