Yes, absolutely. We need to understand where the problem is, because it looks like we can't map SystemMemory Opregion with NORMAL_NC if the PA is not in the EFI map, that's a problem (ie how can we determine the right memory attributes for SystemMemory Operation regions then) but let's not speculate and find what the issue is first.
