It's worth noting that no-one is relying on this at present, and were
they it would imply that their UEFI implementation is broken (providing
a dodgy memory map).
So before people start doing dodgy things, let's, close that hole. If we
need a way of modifying the memory map we should come up with a more
general plan.

Nothing outside of arch/x86 seems to hang off this, so using it here
looks fine.

And this is a false stub for !EFI, so that looks fine.
FWIW:

I wonder if we have any other flat tree uses we need to be careful of
when booting via EFI.
Thanks
