Greg/Matt,

I started seeing this maybe since 4.11, so it isn't really a 4.11.1
issue, however sounds like this shouldn't be an error message, since
it is showing up on an older platform.

efi: EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled.
efi: Failed to lookup EFI memory descriptor for 0x00000000d9e0f018

Matt!

Shouldn't this be a debug message?? Is this a really an error??

thanks,
