Thanks for pointing that out, and just to make sure I verified that on
my Macbook Air which does use EFI. It was broken by the single revert,
and fixed by the additional three reverts.

That particular bug isn't the cause for my non-EFI problems, since I
don't have that kind of memory..

So there is something else going on in addition to the bug you found.
But good eye.

Anybody see anything else?

And why do we have to call the get-time calls so early? Couldn't we
move them later and avoid all the crazy "let's create silly magical
page tables just for the idiotic EFI problems".

And while I'm asking, why the f*ck did Intel do that crazy EFI thing
in the first place again?
