[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/2] xen/efi: optionally call SetVirtualAddressMap()

["Marek Marczykowski-Górecki" <marmarek@invisiblethingslab.com>]

Some UEFI implementations are not happy about running in 1:1 addressing,
but really virtual address space. Specifically, some access
EfiBootServices{Code,Data}, or even totally unmapped areas. Example
crash of GetVariable() call on Thinkpad W540:

    Xen call trace:
       [<0000000000000080>] 0000000000000080
       [<8c2b0398e0000daa>] 8c2b0398e0000daa

    Pagetable walk from ffffffff858483a1:
       L4[0x1ff] = 0000000000000000 ffffffffffffffff

    ****************************************
    Panic on CPU 0:
    FATAL PAGE FAULT
    [error_code=0002]
    Faulting linear address: ffffffff858483a1
    ****************************************

Fix this by calling SetVirtualAddressMap() runtime service, giving it
1:1 map for areas marked as needed during runtime. The address space in
which EFI runtime services are called is unchanged, but UEFI view of it
may be.
SetVirtualAddressMap() can be called only once, hence it's incompatible
with kexec. For this reason, make it an optional feature, depending on
!KEXEC. And to not inflate number of supported configurations, hide it
behind EXPERT.

Changes in v2:
 - call  SetVirtualAddressMap() before adjusting efi pointers; especially
   efi_memmap at this point still needs to use physical address, not a
   directmap one
