If you need the ACPI tables, the first kernel won't boot. However, if we
fail to map the runtime services data and code, that doesn't mean the
next kernel can't. We might have failed to map the runtime services due
to an early_ioremap bug or similar, and that could be fixed in the
kernel we're about to kexec to.
If we're going to nuke runtime regions, we should nuke them in the
memory map descriptors as a courtesy to the next kernel. Otherwise we
could be more courteous and simply leave them be (which is my
preference).

I've just spent some time doing so; patch below. It boots happily on my
Juno (with 4KiB pages at least), but I haven't given it much of a stress
test.
I wasn't sure if unusable memory could show up with EFI_MEMORY_WB
attributes. If so, this patch still won't prevent that from being mapped
as cacheable, but that should be easy to fix.
Thanks,
Mark.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: efi: Simplify memory descriptor handling
Currently discovering the memory map from UEFI is a multi-stage affair,
where the boot services code and data are kept around for much longer
than necessary. Additionally, potential overlap between memory and IO
mappings at kernel page granularity is not handled.
This patch attempts to solve both of these issues, with the addition and
filtering of memory regions being handled in a single function.
First, all normal memory (i.e. anything which can be mapped writeback
cacheable) is added to memblock. Second, IO and reserved regions are
filtered out of memblock at kernel page granularity, to prevent
potential conflicting mappings.
As some reserved regions must be present in the idmap these are
reserved. Everything else that's not normal memory is removed,
preventing the possibility of a cacheable mapping covering something it
shouldn't.
