Subject: [PATCH 4.20 61/76] x86/boot/compressed/64: Do not read legacy ROM on EFI system

4.20-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@...ux.intel.com>

commit 6f913de3231e1d70a871135b38219da7810df218 upstream.

EFI systems do not necessarily provide a legacy ROM. If the ROM is missing
the memory is not mapped at all.

Trying to dereference values in the legacy ROM area leads to a crash on
Macbook Pro.

Only look for values in the legacy ROM area for non-EFI system.
