To be honest, no matter how small the wastage, I'd prefer reusing
another entry over creating a new one. FIX_TBOOT_MAP_ADDRESS
seems like a reasonable fit (which we also don't have to expect to
go away, unless tboot support would get ripped out altogether).
This is not the least because sane UEFI systems aren't expected to
have MPS tables anyway (i.e. the entry, if separate, would likely
_never_ be used in reality), it's just that the specification allows for
it.
