Hi Ard,
I edit the patch and it is as following. Returning EFI_ABORTED would
be proper, because the return value (status) is checked in 
__efi_enter_virtual_mode(). And returning EFI_ABORTED can abort the 
process.
Thanks
Gen



save_pgd is allocated by kmalloc_array. And it is dereferenced in the
following codes. However, memory allocation functions such as
kmalloc_array may fail. Dereferencing this save_pgd null pointer may 
cause the kernel go wrong. Thus we should check this allocation.
