Thanks for your reply, Ard. You mean that we should return efi_mm.pgd
when allcoation fails? And we should delete return EFI_ABORTED on the 
caller site, right? In that case, how should we handle the NULL pointer
returned by condition if(!efi_enabled(EFI_OLD_MEMMAP)) on the caller 
site?

Thanks
Gen
