Subject: [PATCH 13/13] x86/efi: Only map kernel text for EFI mixed mode

From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@...el.com>

The correct symbol to use when figuring out the size of the kernel
text is '_etext', not '_end' which is the symbol for the entire kernel
image includes data and debug sections.
