From: Ashish Kalra <ashish.kalra@xxxxxxx> For kexec use case, need to use and stick to the EFI memmap passed from the first kernel via boot-params/setup data, hence, skip efi_arch_mem_reserve() during kexec. Additionally during SNP guest kexec testing discovered that EFI memmap is corrupted during chained kexec. kexec_enter_virtual_mode() during late init will remap the efi_memmap physical pages allocated in efi_arch_mem_reserve() via memblock & then subsequently cause random EFI memmap corruption once memblock is freed/teared-down.
