  efi: fdt: avoid FDT manipulation after ExitBootServices() (2017-02-01 16:33:37 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
* Fix for unexpected fallout of a previous urgent fix that addressed handling
  of the memory map in the EFI stub FDT code, which turns out to break systems
  that disable the MMU in ExitBootServices() (which is a highly questionable
  practice by itself)
