Hi, As the EFI_STUB for arm64 got into tip and soon into -next, I thought about giving it a try (tip/arm64/efi). Using my boot-wrapper (non-EFI) is still supposed to work but I get the trace below. It looks like memmap.map is NULL but the code still assumes the kernel was started as an EFI app. Have you guys tested these patches properly?
