If we're going to make this function global we should stick to the
existing naming convention and rename it efi_print_memmap() in a
separate patch.

Should we make this a Kconfig option? Is there any reason that 8 has
to be the absolute maximum?

You probably also want to check that efi_enabled(EFI_MEMMAP) is true
here, if not, you shouldn't iterate over the EFI memory map.

early_memremap() can fail and return NULL, so you should check for
that.

The rest of the patch looks fine to me.
