  efi/esrt: Cleanup bad memory map log messages (2017-03-17 18:53:12 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
A single UEFI fix:
- Reduce the severity of the notice that appears when the ESRT table points
  to memory that is not covered by the memory map. It is scaring our users
  and interfering with their nice splash screens. Note that the ESRT may still
  be perfectly usable, and is currently (to my knowledge) not widely used to
  begin with.
