efi: optionally call SetVirtualAddressMap()
Some UEFI implementations are not happy about lack of SetVirtualAddressMap() call. Likely abuse the address map change notification to do things beyond the necessary ConvertPointer() calls. Specifically, wihtout the SetVirtualAddressMap() call, 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. Since it's fairly late in Xen 4.13 development cycle, disable it by default and hide behind EXPERT.
