Yes. The ACPI core uses acpi_os_ioremap() to map all the ACPI tables
at boot, which are passed in ACPI reclaim memory, which is already
mapped in the linear region at this point.

Actually, come to think of it, this is probably incorrect for kexec,
as the kernel may not have mapped such regions in its linear map, so
we still need the memblock_is_map_memory() test here.

OK

Indeed. I will do some testing on the systems I have access to, and
hopefully, other will as well.
