Well, we call ExitBootServices pretty early in exit_boot().
But the problem is, something messes up the upper boundary of the region
and it is an EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA region which we need for the runtime
services mapping and if we can't map it properly, we're probably going
to miss functionality or not have runtime at all.
I hope this is an edk2 only bug. Btw, I'm not running the latest version
so the hope that it could've been fixed in the meantime is not dead yet.
