What about if you comment out the call to efi_dump_pagetable()? What
if you return early from efi_sync_low_kernel_mappings(), e.g.
diff --git a/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c b/arch/x86/platform/efi/efi_64.c

Do either of those modifications make your kernel boot when you apply
the patch I sent on Friday? If so, which one? I'm struggling to find
hardware that's similar enough to reproduce this.
