Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/efi: Unmap efi boot services code/data regions from efi_pgd

Ideally, after kernel assumes control of the platform firmware shouldn't
access EFI Boot Services Code/Data regions. But, it's noticed that this
is not so true in many x86 platforms. Hence, during boot, kernel
reserves efi boot services code/data regions [1] and maps [2] them to
efi_pgd so that call to set_virtual_address_map() doesn't fail. After
returning from set_virtual_address_map(), kernel frees the reserved
regions [3] but they still remain mapped.

This means that any code that's running in efi_pgd address space (e.g:
any efi runtime service) would still be able to access efi boot services
code/data regions but the contents of these regions would have long been
over written by someone else as they are freed by efi_free_boot_services().
So, it's important to unmap these regions. After unmapping boot services
code/data regions, any illegal access by buggy firmware to these regions
would result in page fault which will be handled by efi specific fault
handler.

[1] Please see efi_reserve_boot_services()
[2] Please see efi_map_region() -> __map_region()
[3] Please see efi_free_boot_services()
