Subject: [PATCH 3/6] x86/efi: Map RAM into the identity page table for mixed mode

We are relying on the pre-existing mappings in 'trampoline_pgd' when
accessing function arguments in the EFI mixed mode thunking code.

Instead let's map memory explicitly so that things will continue to
work when we move to a separate page table in the future.
