Subject: [PATCH 5.4 024/165] efi/earlycon: Remap entire framebuffer after page initialization

From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@...ux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit b418d660bb9798d2249ac6a46c844389ef50b6a5 ]

When commit:

  69c1f396f25b ("efi/x86: Convert x86 EFI earlyprintk into generic earlycon implementation")

moved the x86 specific EFI earlyprintk implementation to a shared location,
it also tweaked the behaviour. In particular, it dropped a trick with full
framebuffer remapping after page initialization, leading to two regressions:

  1) very slow scrolling after page initialization,
  2) kernel hang when the 'keep_bootcon' command line argument is passed.

Putting the tweak back fixes #2 and mitigates #1, i.e., it limits the slow
behavior to the early boot stages, presumably due to eliminating heavy
map()/unmap() operations per each pixel line on the screen.

 [ ardb: ensure efifb is unmapped again unless keep_bootcon is in effect. ]
 [ mingo: speling fixes. ]
