You really need to be using 'memmap.desc_size' here and not
sizeof(efi_memory_desc_t) as the two may differ. Also, you should be
checking for failure of krealloc() and using memcpy() instead of
directly dereferencing 'md'.

Small nit but I wouldn't bother prefixing the filename with "efi-",
since you can't build this file as a module.

If the UEFI spec ever releases an update for the memory descriptor
structure, and bumps 'memmap.desc_version', how are we going to signal
the incompatibility to legacy versions of kexec tools?
